Rangers will be looking to take the first-leg advantage when they host Servette at Ibrox in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on Wednesday.
The Gers are here thanks to their second-placed finish in the Scottish Premiership last season, and began their new season with a shock 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock on Saturday.
After finishing second in the 2022-23 Swiss Super League, Servette had to overcome Genk over the two legs at the Champions League second qualifying round. The Maroons come into the tie on the back of a 1-1 league draw against Stade Lausanne-Ouchy to extend their unbeaten run to five games this season.
