Brann welcome Rangers to Bergen for a pivotal European showdown, with both sides eager to gain an early foothold in the group stage.
Rangers have endured a disastrous start to the Scottish Premiership campaign, claiming just one victory in their first eight league fixtures. Their struggles have extended into Europe, where they were comprehensively outplayed by Club Brugge, going down 9-1 on aggregate in the Champions League, and have already fallen to Genk and Sturm Graz in the Europa League.
Back on the domestic front, a late strike from James Tavernier salvaged a 2-2 draw at home against Dundee United on Saturday, highlighting the club's ongoing uncertainty following Russell Martin's dismissal, with Steven Smith currently in temporary charge.
Meanwhile, there have been more positive signs for the Norwegian side in the Europa League. They secured a victory over Utrecht and put in a spirited performance against Lille, only to be undone by a late goal from Olivier Giroud, signaling that while Rangers falter, their opponents are gaining momentum on the European stage.

Brann team news
The Norwegian hosts are dealing with a lengthy injury list ahead of Thursday's clash, with Niklas Castro, Niklas Jensen Wassberg, Jonas Torsvik, Felix Horn Myhre, Sakarias Opsahl, and Saevar Atli Magnusson all sidelined. In Magnusson's absence, Bard Finne is expected to lead the line, potentially partnering Ulrik Mathisen in attack.
Behind them, Emil Kornvig, Eggert Aron Gudmundsson, and Noah Jean Holm are likely to operate in advanced midfield roles, while Jacob Lungi Sorensen should anchor the midfield as the holding presence.
Rangers team news
For Rangers, injury concerns continue to mount, with Dujon Sterling, Mohamed Diomande, and Rabbi Matondo all set to miss out.
With Rohl taking charge for the first time, predicting the lineup is tricky, but a front four of Djeidi Gassama, Thelo Aasgaard, Oliver Antman, and Bojan Miovski, all of whom featured last time out, could spearhead the attack once again.
