Rangers will be looking to bounce back following a poor result to Dundee at the weekend as they eye up a spot in the Champions League play-offs by getting the job done against Viktoria Plzen.
Russell Martin’s men beat the Czech side with ease last Tuesday at Ibrox 3-0 thanks to a brace from Djeidi Gassama and Cyriel Dessers penalty.
If the Light Blues get through tonight, they will be facing Club Brugge or Salzburg in the play-off round.
Plzen are also coming into this all important second leg following a 1-1 draw from the weekend against Slovacko, where they conceded a penalty in stoppage time.
The Rangers boss spoke to the press yesterday before the second leg and confirmed Thelo Aasgaard, Hamza Igamane, and Mikey Moore will not be in the squad for the game tonight, but will all be available this Saturday for the Premier Sports Cup game against Alloa Athletic.
Martin made some bold decisions last week by dropping captain James Tavernier and star midfielder Nicolas Raskin.
The Englishman was impressed by Raskin’s reaction after being dropped and his contribution coming on at the weekend:
“He came out of the team for reasons that me and him spoke about, and his reaction has been top, like really, really brilliant.
“He’s a fantastic player, and he’s a young man that I’m getting to know all the time, and actually I like his character and personality.
“It’s my job to make sure, playing for this football club, whoever you are, the demands are clear, in whatever position you play.”
The last two games Martin has stuck with the same team but it is expected he will make some changes tonight.
Kick-off for the game is at 6pm and is available to watch on Solidsport for £12 in the United Kingdom.
