Arsenal vs Rangers: TV details, what channel, how to watch Women's Champions League clash

Rangers will looking to take a big European scalp this week as they head to London to face Women’s Super League giants Arsenal in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifiers.

Winners of the domestic cup double last year, Jo Potter’s side are competing in Europe’s elite competition for only the second time in their history and face the Gunners in the group three semi-final, with the other tie between Atletico Madrid and Rosenborg taking place on the same day at 12pm.

The winner of each semi-final will face each other this Saturday in the group three final, and head coach Potter has urged her side to show no fear and grasp the opportunity to show what they can do against her former side in North London.

“As you can imagine it is one of the most prestigous tournaments that there is,” she told RangersTV. “That is what everybody wants to play in, you always hear the question of World Cup or Champions League and it is a hard one so I think that just brings its own level of excitement. The opposition brings its own level of excitement as well. We know it is going to be a difficult task but it is also an exciting one. We need to make sure that we are prepared for it, but we also want to enjoy every moment too.

“I think we have pulled out the highest seeded team available in the draw so it is tough but that is what it is there for. There is a bit of pressure on them to get out of this stage because they didn't do it last year so they have got to make sure that they are doing their homework on us, particularly as we are the first team up.”

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall has confirmed the Lionesses superstar Beth Mead will not be fit for the fixture, as he previewed the clash against Rangers. “You can see they have a clear identity in the way they play,” said Eidevall. “You see in her (Potter) coaching career she usually gets the best out of the environments she works in. They were very close to knocking out Benfica in the qualifiers and Benfica are a very good European team. They went to extra time. They are very, very capable of good performances in these stages.”
