Club Brugge v Rangers match preview

Russell Martin’s woeful start to life as Rangers manager continued at the weekend with a draw at St Mirren – and he really needs a famous win in Belgium to somehow continue their Champions League campaign.

Rangers were outclassed in last week’s first leg at Ibrox, and were 3-0 down inside 20 minutes before belatedly pulling one back in the second half.

Martin will be hoping for a miracle on the road but Rangers have not won an away Champions League game by two or more goals in 18 years. The Europa League beckons.
