An all-British encounter between Rangers and Liverpool sees the hosts needing a win to stay in the Champions League and the visitors chasing their third victory from four in Group A.
Back in the Champions League after 11 years away, Rangers have found it tough going. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side have yet to score, although their defeats have become gradually narrower (4-0 vs Ajax, 0-3 vs Napoli, and 2-0 vs Liverpool at Anfield last week). But the omens aren't good for the Gers: they've not netted in any of their last five European games against English teams, of which they've lost four.
Liverpool's stuttering start to the campaign continued on Sunday as they lost 3-2 away to Arsenal, finishing the weekend 10th in the Premier League table. Jurgen Klopp's Reds have picked up as many wins in the Champions League (2) as they have domestically so far in 2022/23, and victory at Ibrox will take last season's runners-up a step closer to reaching the knockout rounds for the sixth consecutive season.
Team news
Liverpool have endured a torrid time with injuries this term, and they could be without eight players for the trip north of the border. The Reds lost Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Luis Diaz at Arsenal, with only the former potentially available tonight. Andy Robertson, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, Arthur and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remain sidelined.
Rangers have no fresh injury concerns but remain without John Souttar, Filip Helander, Kemar Roofe, Ianis Hagi and Tom Lawrence – of whom only the latter has featured in 2022/23.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
