It is the first time the two sides have met since facing each other in the 2007-08 Champions League group stages when a famous 3-0 win for Walter Smith’s side in France was followed a defeat by the same scoreline in the home return.

Rangers have suffered a blow on the eve of the match with the news that defender Filip Helander will be out until at least December due to the knee injury picked up in the weekend win over St Johnstone.

Lyon have two former Celtic players in their ranks – Moussa Dembele and Jason Denayer – and Gers boss Steven Gerrard is expecting the Ligue 1 giants to provide his toughest European challenge to date.

Rangers are hoping to go one stage further having reached the last 16 of the Europa League in each of the last two seasons.
