How Rangers fans can watch Champions League play-off tie vs Club Brugge on both TV and other devices

Rangers continue their quest to reach the Champions League group stages and secure a £40 million jackpot in the process - but they must navigate a tough two-legged play-off tie against Club Brugge.

Russell Martin’s side have already eliminated Greek side Panathinaikos and Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen in previous qualifying rounds and now face one final hurdle against the Belgian giants to reach the promised land.

Both sides will be relatively familiar with each other having faced off during a pre-season friendly at Ibrox last month, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The only previous competitive meeting between the two teams came in the group stage of the inaugural Champions League in season 1992/93, with the Light Blues running out 3-2 aggregate winners.

Rangers are bidding to reach the lucrative League Phase for the 12th time in their history, while Brugge have been a more constant presence at Europe’s top table in recent years after participating in seven of the last nine seasons.

They reached the round of 16 last season before suffering heavy defeat to Aston Villa, while the Gers took part in the 2022/23 edition - their first in 12 years.
