How to watch Dynamo Kyiv vs Rangers - TV details, live stream, and kick off info for crunch UCL qualifier

Rangers will embark on their latest Champions League qualifying campaign when they travel to Poland for the first leg of their third round qualifier against Ukrainian outfit Dynamo Kyiv.

Both sides finished runners-up in their respective leagues last season and are now set to square off over a two-legged tie for place in the play-off round. Despite the lack of home advantage in the Polish city of Lublin, Kyiv enjoyed a more productive pre-season preparation than the winless Gers and were able to rest and recover at the weekend after easing past FK Partizan in the second qualifying round 9-2 on aggregate.

Philippe Clement’s men will have to be careful they don’t return to Hampden the following week behind in the tie are kick-starting their domestic campaign with a disappointing 0-0 draw against Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday, while their opponents were spared participation in the Ukrainian top-flight. Dynamo narrowly missed out on their first title since 2021, finishing just two points behind champions Shakhtar Donetsk which automatically secured them a place in the competition preliminary rounds.

They boast a proud history in the Champions League, having progressed to the last-16 stage eight years ago. Rangers, meanwhile, are hoping to avoid another early season setback as they target a spot in the lucrative group phase. The Glasgow giants managed one win from four Europa League matches away from Ibrox last term before facing elimination after a quickfire exit from the Champions League, which saw then-manager Michael Beale’s side crash at the hands of PSV Eindhoven.

What is the latest team news?

Philippe Clement has confirmed winger Oscar Cortes did not travel with the squad and faces up to five weeks on the sidelines. The Colombian twisted his knee against Hearts in their Premiership opener and that will rule him out of both legs as well as league games against Motherwell, St Johnstone, Ross County and most the Old Firm clash with Celtic on September 1st. He joins midfielder Nicolas Raskin on the treatment table.

New signing Robin Propper is fully fit but has had “a busy few days off the pitch” following his move to Glasgow and might not feature from the start, while Czech winger Vaclav Cerny will look to build on his debut appearance from the bench at the weekend. Clement also confirmed Ianis Hagi - who was not included in the European squad list - will be sold this summer.
