Gascoigne scores in Rangers Legends vs Rest of the World charity match

Rangers visit Braga this evening for the first leg of the club’s Europa League quarter-final tie.

The Scottish champions overcame Borussia Dortmund in a stunning play-off tie to set up a last-16 clash with Red Star Belgrade, whom Rangers eliminated after surviving a second-leg defeat.

Next up for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team is Braga, who defeated Monaco in the last 16 of the Europa League and enter tonight’s game on the back of a win against top-four rivals Benfica in the Portuguese top flight.

Rangers, meanwhile, were beaten by rivals and Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic in the weekend’s Old Firm derby, so they must move past that result to pick up a positive result here.

Here’s all you need to know about tonight’s match.
