Rangers form and stats

Rangers's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.

The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 10 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses both home and away. Rangers love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

It's the second away game in a row for Rangers, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Aberdeen in the Premiership last time out. The game before that, in the Europa League, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.

A new game in only three days for Rangers, the Premiership home match versus St. Mirren. Busy days.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Rangers - Bayer Leverkusen 1-3.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
