Rangers will take on Real Betis in their final group game of this season's Europa League campaign at the Benito Villamarín Stadium on Thursday. With just a one-point lead at the top, both teams have the opportunity to secure the top spot in the group and advance to the last 16. However, there's also the looming threat of elimination, with third-placed Sparta Prague ready to capitalize on any missteps.
Rangers are in fine form at the moment and are unbeaten in 13 games. Group leaders Betis will need to be wary as they have only one win in the last four matches and their previous Europa League outing ended in a defeat at the hands of Sparta Prague.
