European nights will return to Ibrox on Thursday for the first time this season with Rangers set to take on Lyon in the Europa League.
Philippe Clement’s side kicked off their campaign last week with a convincing 2-0 win over Malmo in Sweden.
Nedim Bajrami stunned the hosts with a goal inside the first minute, with Ross McCausland scoring off the bench to seal the Gers first-ever win on Swedish soil.
