The Ibrox Stadium will be bouncing on Tuesday night when Rangers face off against Club Brugge in the first leg of their Champions League Playoff round clash. The winner of this tie between the Gers and Blauw-Zwart will enter this season’s main draw, while the loser will be transferred to the Europa League league phase. Let’s get into the match prediction!
It’s set to be a massive night south side of the River Clyde, as Rangers head into the home leg of their UCL Playoff tie, looking to earn a seat at the table among Europe’s elite for the first time since 2022-23.
Standing in the Glasgow giants' way, though, is FCB, a side that not only featured in this competition last season, but also impressed most onlookers en route to the last 16. The Belgian outfit visited this part of the world in November last year when they held Celtic to a 1-1 draw in the 2024-25 UCL League Phase. Let’s get into the key stats!

Rangers - Club Brugge: Form Analysis
After beating Panathinaikos 3-1 on aggregate, Rangers managed to hold off a late push from Viktoria Plzen to earn their place in the Champions League Playoff round with a 4-2 aggregate scoreline.
However, the Gers have made a much less impressive start to their Scottish Premiership campaign, drawing both their matches this term 1-1 against Motherwell and Dundee, respectively.
The hosts will be looking to make home advantage count. They won, scored two or more goals, and kept clean sheets in their home matches in the two previous rounds of this competition.
These sides played to a 2-2 draw in a pre-season friendly on July 6!
Meanwhile, after reaching the round of 16 last season, Club Brugge kicked off their qualifying campaign this season with a very impressive 4-2 aggregate victory over Austrian powerhouse Salzburg.
The Black and Blue's beat ZW in the Pro League over the weekend. They have now won three of their first four league games this season and are riding a four-match win streak across all competitions.
Last season, FCB won two of their six away matches in this competition. However, they have won five of their last six on the road and have only lost one away game since mid-March across all competitions.

Rangers & Club Brugge Squad Analysis
Russell Martin made clear that he has prioritised this competition over the weekend by making as many as 10 changes to the side that he sent out against Alloa in the League Cup.
Djeidi Gassama has been excellent in this competition for the home side, scoring four goals in four matches so far. His role could be all the more crucial here with Cyriel Dessers flagged as a slight injury doubt.
Dujon Sterling remains sidelined, but Mikey Moore and Thelo Aasgaard have been cleared to join the squad for this clash.
Could we see the final FCB appearance for Joel Ordonez?
The 21-year-old Ecquadroian right-back is being heavily linked with a move to Marseille this summer and was left out of the squad for the tie against Salzburg.
Hans Vanaken has netted three times in seven matches across all competitions this season. Two of those goals were match-deciders, including the winners in the Super Cup and against Salzburg in the second leg.
Summer signing Carlos Forbs will be hoping to make another mark after opening his account for his new employers against the Red Bulls. Gustaf Nilsson and Jackson Ordonez are ruled out through injury for Laurent Blanc’s side.
