Ibrox could be in for a famous night as Rangers are set to take on the Liga NOS side Sporting Braga in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

The Scottish Premiership giants have the chance of reaching the semi-finals of this competition for the first time since 2008 but find themselves 1-0 down from the first leg.

After a comprehensive 4-0 victory over St Mirren at the weekend, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side will be hoping that this will be the momentum they need to secure qualification into the next round.

Let's get into the nitty-gritty regarding Rangers' crunch clash against Braga:
