Steven Gerrard’s side suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Lyon in their opening Group A fixture a fortnight ago while the Czech outfit, who thrashed Celtic 4-1 home and away last season, claimed a goalless draw from their trip to Brondby.

Rangers have suffered a hammer blow on the eve of the match with centre-half Connor Goldson ruled out, on top of the injured Filip Helander, leaving the Scottish champions without their first choice centre-back pairing.

Sparta were ordered to close their Letna Stadium for the match after their fans were banned from attending because of racist conduct, but it will now be watched by around 10,000 children aged six to 14 admitted free of charge in an initiative supported by UEFA.
