Ajax vs Rangers LIVE score team news and build up from the Champions League showdown

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be looking for some home comforts on his return to the Netherlands after his nightmare against Celtic at the weekend.

A trip back across the North Sea proved to be exactly what was needed last time around when, after a 2-2 draw against Hibs at Easter Road, he masterminded a win at PSV Eindhoven.

That ensured a return to the Champions League group stage for Rangers for the first time in 12 years. And the Ibrox side's opening Group A fixture just happens to see him go back to Holland again.

As a Feyenoord legend he's unlikely to get a warm welcome in the Johan Cruyff Arena but he will have the backing of the travelling hordes.

That 4-0 drubbing at Parkhead will take a while to shrug off but there is nothing better as a player than getting straight back into it with another big game.

And they don't come any bigger than Europe's premier competition with Rangers lining up for that Zadok the Priest theme tune in a group stage game for the first time since they faced Bursaspor in December 2010.

But the wait is almost over for a return and you can follow all the build up, match action and reaction right here in our LIVE blog.
