Rangers welcome Benfica to Ibrox tonight as they look to return to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

The tie is finely poised after a 2-2 draw in Lisbon last week, which saw Rangers twice take the lead before being pegged back by the Portuguese side.

Goals from Tom Lawrence and Dujon Sterling had put Rangers into the lead but Benfica twice equalised, first through World Cup winner Angel di Maria and then as Connor Goldson turned into his own net.

But manager Philippe Clement will hope Ibrox makes the difference as Rangers look to go on another European run. The Glasgow side reached the Europa League final in 2022, but were beaten by Eintracht Frankfurt in Sevilla.
