Rangers And PSV meet for a second consecutive year with a place at the Champions League group stages in play.

The home and away play-offs will determine which club enters the draw for the tournament proper on Thursday, August 31.

It was the Scottish side that progressed from this stage in 2022 with a narrow victory, but Michael Beale’s side have had a mixed start to the season.

PSV, meanwhile, looked in good form as they eliminated SK Sturm Graz 7-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Ianis Hagi and Ridvan Yilmaz have been omitted from the Rangers squad, with the former potentially closing in on an exit from the club. James Tavernier and Todd Cantwell were among those who sat out the cup win over Greenock Morton but are expected to return for the first leg.

Phillipp Mwene and Patrick van Aanholt stayed in the Netherlands due to injuries, leaving Peter Bosz with a slight problem at left-back. New signing Sergino Dest is available following his loan move from Barcelona on Monday, but this first leg could come too soon for a full debut.
