The Gers lost 2-0 against Lyon in the first match of this competition, but Steven Gerrard’s side have done well in Europan games away from home in the past.
They are not playing at their best but are doing just enough to pick up crucial points. Sparta haven’t been that brilliant in the Czech league so far, so Rangers can fancy a win here.
