The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Thursday's Europa League clash between Rangers and Sparta Prague, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Rangers 2-1 Sparta Prague

Both teams can seal their place in the last 32 of the Europa League with a victory on Thursday; however, a draw would be more beneficial to the visitors who have the better head-to-head record as things stand. With a new manager at the helm for a European night under the lights at Ibrox, the home supporters will act as a 12th man for Rangers, which could help to get them over the line and secure a narrow victory.
