Rangers TV legends line-up for Galatasaray Europa League clash: Graeme Souness, Walter Smith and Ally McCoist

Graeme Souness will see two former clubs go head to head at Ibrox tonight.

Rangers have included some big name players and club legends in their line-up for the in-house TV coverage of tonight’s match with Galatasaray.

The Europa League play-off match at Ibrox will determine if the unbeaten SPFL Premiership leaders, or the Turkish Super Lij table-toppers will enter the group stage of the competition.

How to watch: Match details, kick-off and online stream

For Rangers it would mean a third consecutive year in achieving progress to that stage of the tournament and the financial benefits that accompany it.

Ally McCoist and Walter Smith will be part of a big-name line-up from the club.

So with much riding on the match, and much interest from the fans unable to attend due to coronavirus restrictions, the Ibrox club has signed up some big names for what is sure to be a big night of European action on Rangers TV.

The club’s own online stream is the only way to see the match with Premier Sports electing to show Tottenham vs Maccabi Haifa instead of Steven Gerrard’s meeting with Fatih Terim's side.

Joining host Emma Dodds and commentator Clive Tyldesley will be former managers and club legends Walter Smith, Ally McCoist and Graeme Souness – the latter of whom managed both Rangers and Galatasaray during the 1990s. McCoist will also conduct co-commentary duties for the duration of the match.

Ex-Rangers winger Neil McCann will also provide analysis and punditry as part of the club’s pre-match build-up and post-match analysis.

Souness and Smith will be re-united again tonight.
