Overview

• Rangers will host Viktoria Plzen at Ibrox on August 5 in the first leg of the Champions League third qualifying round.
• Russell Martin has deployed a 4-3-3 setup featuring Jack Butland in goal and a front three of Gassama, Dessers and Dowell.
• Martin publicly criticised his players after a 1-1 draw at Motherwell, demanding higher standards following their Panathinaikos victory.
• Viktoria Plzen arrive in Scotland without Pavel Sulc, who is completing a transfer to Lyon, and midfielder Adrian Zeljkovic, who is sidelined by suspension.
• A win would move Rangers closer to their first Champions League group stage since 2010–11 and safeguard Europa League entry for eliminated teams.
