Rangers' toughest test of their Europa League fixtures on TV has arrived as they travel to face Lyon.
The Gers have already secured passage to the knockout stages based on their head-to-head goal difference against Sparta Prague.
However, this will provide new boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst with his biggest test to date in charge of the Scottish giants and prepare them for bigger fish to come in the knockout rounds.
Rangers are on a hot streak of results in the Scottish Premiership and will be determined to transfer that domestic form onto the continental stage.
Lyon have performed woefully in Ligue 1 this season as they sit 12th, but have won all five of their European games to date.

Our prediction: Lyon v Rangers
Rangers can enter this match without pressure, there's nothing to gain or lose in terms of qualification.
However, a winning mentality in the early days of Van Bronckhorst's reign is essential for their chances this term.
He will demand a big performance against a big team to prove his men can step up in the knockouts. They may not get a favourable result, but expect a good showing.
Our prediction: Lyon 2-1 Rangers (15/2 at bet365)
