Who will win Rangers vs USG? Our writers deliver their predictions as Ibrox set for another huge Europa League night

Rangers will be hoping for a repeat of their last clash at Ibrox against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.

That was two-and-a-half years ago when Giovanni van Bronckhorst was in charge and the Dutchman was the mastermind behind his Light Blues troops staging a rousing comeback to win 3-0 against the Belgians in what was an emphatic performance.

They had been trailing 2-0 from the first leg but came back to progress in the Champions League qualifiers before eventually ending a long wait to reach the group stage with victory over PSV Eindhoven. They won't face such a pressure match this time around with Gers set to progress from the new-look Europa League league phase. But there is plenty still to be decided with a chance of even skipping the knockout round play-off and straight to the last 16. Here's how the Record Sport team see the game at Ibrox playing out.

Philippe Clement might not have many choices left when it comes to his team selection given his injury and ineligibility issues but he should have enough to get the victory. The Belgians have had a remarkably similar campaign to Gers, sitting 11 points off the title pace largy due to their patchy away form while they’ve got a near identical Europa League record to Clement’s men. However, the Light Blues will hope the power of Ibrox can give them the edge. The bigger question for Gers is will they get the favours they need from five other teams to finish in the top eight? That looks far less certain...

Rangers 2 USG 0

Rangers have not just enjoyed this Europa League campaign, they’ve actually impressed along the way. There’s no reason why they can’t round it off with one last home win under the lights against the Belgians to consolidate their place in the play-offs
