What channel is Liverpool v Rangers on? TV details, live stream, kick-off time, referee

Liverpool and Rangers meet competitively for the first time at Anfield on Tuesday in a glamour Champions League showdown between two of last season's beaten European finalists.

The eagerly-anticipated Battle of Britain clash will pit Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Europa League runners-up against the side Real Madrid pipped to lift the Champions League trophy in May.

The pair also finished runners-up in the English and Scottish top flights races last season as well as lifting their respective Scottish and FA Cups, with Liverpool securing a domestic double in the EFL Cup.

Both sides have made stuttering starts to the current domestic campaign with Rangers trailing Celtic by two points after suffering a 4-0 defeat at Parkhead last month, while Liverpool are languishing down in ninth place in the EPL.

Rangers, however, go into the match on the back of a confidence-boosting 4-0 away win over Hearts on Saturday while Jurgen Klopp's side dropped points again after being held at home in a 3-3 draw with Brighton.

In the Champions League, Rangers are still looking for their first points in Group A after a 4-0 thumping to Ajax in Amsterdam was followed by a 3-0 reverse at home to Napoli, while Liverpool recovered from their own 4-1 hammering in Naples to beat the Dutch champions 2-1 at Anfield.

It promises to be a cracking atmosphere under the lights at Anfield ahead of the return fixture at Ibrox next week.
