Rangers face second-leg test against in-form Jagiellonia
Rangers welcome Jagiellonia to Ibrox Stadium on 13 August for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League third qualifying round tie, trailing after a 2-1 defeat in Poland on 6 August.
The first meeting saw Jagiellonia take control of the contest to move within touching distance of the next round, leaving Rangers with work to do on home soil to keep their European ambitions alive.
Form tells its own story
The recent form of both sides underlines the scale of the task facing Rangers. Jagiellonia arrive on the back of four wins from their last five matches, with only a single defeat in that run, a record that has coincided with their strong start to this European campaign.
Rangers, by contrast, have managed just one win in their last five outings, alongside two draws and two defeats, form that includes the setback suffered against this very opponent in the first leg.
What is needed at Ibrox
A home crowd and the away goal conceded mean Rangers know exactly what is required: a victory by the right margin to turn the tie in their favour before the final whistle in Glasgow.
Jagiellonia will arrive with the aggregate advantage and the confidence of their recent results, aware that a draw or a narrow defeat would be enough to book their passage to the next stage of the competition.
