Is Servette vs Rangers on UK TV? UEFA Champions League qualifying fixture live stream details, kick-off time

Rangers travel to Switzerland with a 2-1 lead following last week’s first leg win in Glasgow over Servette. The Ibrox side raced to an early 2-0 lead and, despite a penalty for the visiting side, they were able to come away with the vital win.

Despite the exceptionally positive start for Michael Beale’s men, the second half proved much more frustrating for Rangers’ fans as they were unable to take advantage of David Doulines’ red card in the 59th minute, forcing Servette to play most of the second half with only ten men.

Speaking ahead of the second leg, Beale said: “We did a good job to get ourselves in front but this game for us starts 0-0. It’s important we try to win - if we do, we know we’re definitely through. It’s just important to we attack the game head on. One thing’s for sure, is we’re not coming to hold on to what we’ve got.

“Everything’s to play for, the tie is open and the fact that it’s in front of a full house, it makes the game even more special. It’s a huge game, we understand that.”

The Gers will now prepare to take on Servette in front of a sold-out crowd at the Stade de Geneve with both sides desperate to book their place in the play-off rounds where they will face either PSV Eindhoven or Sturm Graz.
