The Rangers return to Europa League action as they make the trip to Austria to face Sturm Graz at Merkur Arena on Thursday.

Russell Martin's men have had a tough start to both their European and Scottish Premiership campaigns. They failed to qualify for the Champions League, lost 1-0 to Genk in the Europa League opener and sit eighth in the league standings.

Like the Rangers, Sturm Graz also suffered a defeat in their EL opener, losing 2-0 to Midtjylland. Sitting second in the Austrian Bundesliga, they will be boosted by the availability of Georgian playmaker Otar Kiteishvili for this clash.

The two sides have not met in any head-to-head fixture since 2000. With both teams still searching for their first points of the campaign, there is plenty to play for at the Merkur Arena.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
