Rangers bring a close to a testing Champions League group stage when they welcome Ajax to Ibrox.

Without a point from five games, Rangers were thrashed last time out by Napoli, yet there is still a very small chance they could qualify for the Europa League with a third-place finish.

Ajax are just three points ahead, but due to an inferior goal difference, Rangers would also need to win by five goals to reverse the head-to-head record after going down 4-0 in Amsterdam.

The Dutch side were humbled at home to Liverpool last time out and will hope to build momentum heading into what promises to be a fascinating knock-out stage in the Europa League with the likes of Barcelona and Juventus involved.

Here is everything you need to know.

When is Rangers vs Ajax?

The Champions League fixture kicks off at 8pm GMT, Tuesday 1 November.

How to watch

The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport 4 in the UK. Subscribing customers can stream the match online via the BT Sport website and app. Coverage starts at 7:15 pm GMT.

Confirmed line-ups

Rangers XI: McGregor, Tavernier, King, Sands, Barisic, Tillman, Davis, Arfield, Sakala, Kent, Colak

Ajax XI: Pasveer; Sánchez, Timber, Bassey, Wijndal; Álvarez, Berghuis, Taylor; Bergwijn, Kudus, Tadić

Prediction

Rangers badly need a result to build confidence and salvage some respect with third place still possible but quite improbable due to a 4-0 loss in Amsterdam. We’ll lean towards the Dutch side’s added quality prevailing despite a scare or two. 1-2.
