Benfica v Rangers - Europa League Live Blog

Our live blog is set and running for the early evening kick-off with the latest news you need to know from all that’s happening in the Estadio da Luz.

Rangers are heading to the section’s top seeds on the back of two clean-sheet victories – 1-0 over Lech Poznan last week and 2-0 in Liege against Standard.

That has led to tonight’s fixture being a top of the table clash with Benfica also registering two wins in the group over the Belgian and Polish sides after dropping to the Europa League by way of the Champions League qualifiers. The Eagles were KO’d by Greek side PAOK Salonkia.

That defeat, and one at the weekend in a 3-0 domestic shock from Boavista have been the only blots on the Jorge Jesus copybook this season, so far – but will Steven Gerrard be the next to register against the Portuguese Primiera Liga’s second-placed side?

Rangers are going great guns both at home and abroad sitting top of the SPFL Premiership and have lost just once in their last seven trips to Portugal.
