Rangers welcome Club Brugge to Scotland this week as they aim to take a Champions League playoff tie win over to Belgium.
The Glasgow giants host the first-leg of the tie on Tuesday evening as Russell Martin hopes to see his side give themselves the best chance of success with a strong result.
Gers have not started the season particularly well domestically with two draws from their opening two fixtures including a 1-1 draw away to Motherwell and then the same scoreline at home to Dundee last time out.
The Light Blues did sweep lower league opposition Alloa Athletic away in the Premier Sports Cup but even the 4-2 win had some fans unsure.
Their Champions League qualifying efforts have brought a bit more success as they have already knocked out tough opposition in Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen. The likes of Aston-Villa linked Nico Raskin, Djeidi Gassama and Nasser Djiga have shone in these fixtures.
Brugge, meanwhile, drew with Rangers, 2-2, in pre-season and have beaten RB Salzburg to make the playoffs.
Leading bookmakers have Rangers to win at 11/8 while Club Brugge can be backed at a reasonable 6/5 to leave Ibrox with a victory ahead of the second-leg.
Rangers vs Club Brugge Bet Builder Tips
- Draw/Rangers half-time/full-time @ 6/1
- Rangers 5+ corners @ 4/6
- Djeidi Gassama anytime scorer @ 3/1
Draw/Rangers half-time/full-time @ 6/1
Gers don’t necessarily start fast in their matches these days so to back a draw at half-time would be to suggest it might be a cagey 90 minutes in front of an expectant fanbase.
Ibrox is a cauldron of noise, though, and the support more often than not roars their team to victory. At a really decent 6/1 for draw at half-time and Rangers win at full-time, it’s an intriguing bet to take.
Rangers 5+ corners @ 4/6
Gers are an attacking outfit under Martin even if it doesn’t always turn out in their favour. They will push for goals in this one while also attempting to keep the door shut at the back.
Rather than betting on total corners or which side might get more – which would be a trickier return – for Gers only to get more than five throughout the action is a steadier suggestion.
Djeidi Gassama anytime scorer @ 3/1
The new signing from Sheffield Wednesday has hit the ground running in Glasgow with four goals in six appearances in all competitions.
It just so happens to be that all of those four have come in UCL qualifiers.
Gassama loves the big stage and considering he’s notched four already, an anytime scorer punt at these 3/1 odds is a convincing one.
