Is PSV vs Rangers on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Champions League qualifier
Rangers are one game away from qualifying for the Champions League group stages but must first get a result at PSV Eindhoven in the final play-off round.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side drew 2-2 with Ruud van Nistelrooy‘s PSV at Ibrox last week in a pulsating first leg that saw both teams lead during the match.
It leaves the tie in the balance as Rangers look to qualify for the Champions League group stages for the first time since the 2010/11 season and join Celtic in Thursday’s group stage draw.
But the Scottish club face the tough task of knocking out Dutch side PSV away from home, and must do so without Alfredo Morelos after the striker was dropped due to fitness and attitude concerns.
