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.
