It's set to be another huge European night at Ibrox as Rangers bid to reach the quarter-finals at the expense of Benfica.
The two sides lock horns in Govan in a 5.45pm evening kick-off with the huge prize of a spot in the last eight up for grabs.

They followed up that big result by dumping Hibs out of the Scottish Cup to set up a semi-final showdown with Hearts.
