SHOCKING NEWS;Rangers vs Lyon Europa League league kick-off time has been rescheduled recently due to

Rangers are back in continental action at Ibrox on Thursday as they take on Lyon in their second Europa League league phase outing.

Both sides opened their accounts with victories last week. While Rangers won on their travels against Malmo, Lyon toppled Conference League holders Olympiacos 2-0 on home soil.

Philippe Clement’s side had endured a poor start to the season but a convincing defeat in the first Old Firm derby of the campaign has seemingly sparked this functional unit into life. Rangers have won four on the bounce in all competitions heading into this fixture.

Pierre Sage helped oversee an impressive resurgence at Lyon last season but the French side’s start to the season has been pretty chaotic. They currently sit 11th in Ligue 1 having won late on at Toulouse on Sunday, but this Lyon team also lost handsomely against Rennes and Monaco and embarrassingly to a ten-man Marseille.

Here is 90min’s guide to Rangers‘ upcoming Europa League clash.

What time does Rangers vs Lyon kick-off?

• Kick-off Time: 20:00 BST / 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT

• The hosts have a few injury concerns to contend with heading into this fixture. Clement is likely to be without Rabbi Matondo, Danilo, Ridvan Yilmaz and Oscar Cortes due to their respective injuries.

  Mohamed Diomande missed the weekend’s victory over Hibernian with a knock and it remains to be seen whether he’ll be involved on Thursday.

  Nedim Bajrami, who impressed for Albania at Euro 2024, suffered a hamstring injury last week against Malmo but was fit to feature off the bench at the weekend and could return to Clement’s XI for Lyon’s visit.
