The first leg ended Rangers-Alashkert 1-0. All is set for the decider in this Europa League Play-offs fixture!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Rangers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 5400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
