Rangers trail 3-1 in the Champions League qualifying play-off round against Club Brugge, and our betting tips for Wednesday’s second leg can be backed in a 7/2 bet builder.
Scottish Premiership giants Rangers travel to Belgium for the second leg of their Champions League qualifying play-off round tie on Wednesday, trailing 3-1 to Club Brugge after the first leg.
The Belgian Pro League runners-up raced to a 3-0 lead in the first 20 minutes at Ibrox last week before Danilo struck back early in the second half to give the Gers a glimmer of hope in the tie.
Russell Martin’s side followed up last Tuesday’s defeat with a 1-1 draw vs St Mirren on Sunday. They have now won just one of their last five matches and remain winless in the league.
Rangers go into Wednesday’s encounter as 4/1 outsiders with UK betting sites, while the hosts are odds-on at around 4/7 to come up trumps in regular time on home soil.
Nicky Hayen’s side have won each of their last six matches across all competitions, overcoming the likes of RB Salzburg, Cercle Brugge and Zulte Waregem prior to last week’s first leg win.

Club Brugge to Win @ 4/7
Given their excellent form to kickstart the campaign, along with Rangers’ underwhelming form and last week’s first leg result, we’re expecting Brugge to prevail at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
The Gers, although they’ve recorded impressive wins over Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen in Europe this term, haven’t been at it in recent weeks, with pressure now mounting on Martin.
Defeat will end the Glaswegians’ hopes of advancing to the Champions League league phase, which could lead to the former Southampton boss being dismissed by Ibrox chiefs.
Sean Dyche is the favourite to take over in the next Rangers manager betting odds market.
Christos Tzolis to Score at Any Time @ 11/10
Greek winger Christos Tzolis starred for Club Brugge last term, totalling 21 goals and 16 assists in 56 matches across all competitions, and he looks to have carried that form into this season.
He has started off the campaign with three goals and four assists in eight matches.
This includes two assists in the 3-1 victory in Scotland last week, with Premier League side Crystal Palace among those linked with the 23-year-old off the back of his stunning performance.
Looking to seal his side’s spot in the league phase, we’re backing Tzolis to score at any time in the second leg. You can back this selection with leading bookmakers at around 11/10.
Danilo – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 4/7
Our final tip for the game is to back Rangers forward Danilo to register one shot on target.
The Brazilian led the line at Ibrox last week, netting his side’s sole goal, and having been dropped to the bench at the weekend, he is expected to be reinstated to the lineup in Belgium.
Given that the Gers need to go all out in hunt of a victory by at least a two goal margin to keep their hopes of advancement alive, we expect that they’ll create plenty of chances.
With a central role in attack, Danilo will be heavily involved. This makes him a strong candidate to hit the target at least once, which can be backed at around 4/7 with top bookmakers.
