OGC Nice and Rangers continue their Europa League campaigns with an intriguing meeting on the French riviera.

The hosts are in desperate need of a first win in the continental competition, with two defeats and two draws leaving them languishing towards the bottom of the table in the revamped league format.

Things are comparatively rather rosier for the Scottish club, with a battling draw at Olympiacos in their last outing continuing a solid start.

Having seen his side slip some way off the pace in the Scottish Premiership, Philippe Clement could do with another strong performance as speculation begins to swirl about his future.

Here’s everything you need to know.
