Rangers face Union Saint-Gilloise in a crucial Europa League match. A win for Rangers guarantees them a seeded playoff spot and could potentially secure a top-eight finish, leading to automatic qualification for the last 16. Both teams have ambitions, with USG aiming to continue their remarkable turnaround after emerging from obscurity in recent years.
Rangers know a win against Union Saint-Gilloise guarantees them a seeded play-off spot in the next round of the Europa League and may yet be enough to clinch a top-eight place and therefore automatic qualification for the last 16.
Their fairy tale-like performance in that first season back in the top flight, when they came so close to winning the title, was also well documented before the Champions League qualifier their second-placed finish set up with Rangers in 2022. It all began well enough for the Belgium international as he bagged the Super Cup in his first game in charge against the mighty Club Brugge, followed by an away draw and home win in his first couple of league games.
Some clubs might have binned the rookie manager at that stage, but USG kept faith with Pocognoli and things began to improve from the end of October. Just one cup defeat in 18 games since then has them back in the top three and three wins on the bounce in the Europa League show they are in good fettle coming to Ibrox.
