Prediction: 2-2
Genk
Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Ibrox Stadium when Rangers and Genk square off against each other in the opening match of their Europa League campaign. The Gers faced no difficulties in the League Cup triumph (2-0) over Hibernian at the weekend, but it has to be noted that they made a slow start to their Premiership campaign. Given Rangers’ difficulties at the back, home win should not be considered. Rangers boss Russell Martin has a luxury to field the best possible side against Genk.
Thorsten Fink’s men, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Charleroi (0-1) and Royale Union SG (1-2). Genk are likely to adopt an attack-oriented approach In Thursday’s showdown and given Rangers’ attacking potential at packed “Ibrox”, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Midfielder Daan Heymans continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team.

Highlighted Team (Rangers):
Glasgow Rangers are one of the two synonyms for Scottish Football. Glasgow Rangers were founded back in 1872 and they have been playing an important role in the Scottish top flight ever since. The Gers won their 54th Scottish Premier League title in the 2010/2011 season, but winning of European Cup Winners’ Cup trophy in 1972 is considered the club’s biggest success.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow in the final of the competition, with the likes of Stein and Johnston (two goals) scoring for the Scottish side. Celtic are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two teams meet in the Old Firm derby. The likes of Paul Gascoigne, David Weir, Stefan Klos, Chris Boyd, Ian Durrant and Kenny Miller are some of Rangers’ former notable players.
It has to be noted that the Gers welcome their rivals at Ibrox Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 50,817. Rangers’ support is largely drawn from the Protestant Unionist community.
