Rangers vs Union Saint Gilloise Champions League fixtures revealed with Belgian venue confirmed

Rangers vs Union Saint Gilloise Champions League fixtures revealed with Belgian venue confirmed

BOTH home and away fixtures have now been confirmed for Rangers' third-round qualifying Champions League showdown against Union Saint Gilloise.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side will head to Belgium for the first leg on August 2 before welcoming their opponents to Ibrox the following week on August 9.

Union's Stade Joseph Marien will not be used and instead, the clash will be played at OH Leuven's Den Dreef Stadium. The match will get underway at 7:45pm.

The winners will progress to the play-off stage of the competition.

Union finished runners-up in the Belgian league last season behind Club Brugge, but they topped the table after the regular season of 34 matches before points were halved ahead of six-match play-offs.

They had only returned to the top flight in 2021 following a 48-year absence.

Union won the most recent of their 11 Belgian titles in 1935.

They rounded off their pre-season programme with a 4-0 victory at Feyenoord on Saturday and kick off their domestic season this weekend.
