Union Saint Galloise vs Rangers Champions League qualifier first leg to be broadcast live on Premier Sports

The first leg of Rangers ' Champions League second qualifying round tie against Union Saint-Galloise will be broadcast exclusively live on Premier Sports.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst takes his team to Belgium on Tuesday, August 2 as they kick-off their attempt to reach the group stages of Europe’s premier competition. Union are playing in the Champions League for the first time in their history after finishing second to Jack Hendry’s Club Brugge in the Belgian Pro League last season.

However, they won’t take on the Light Blues in their usual home ground. Union normally play at the Joseph Marien Stadium but the 9400-capacity venue doesn’t meet the required UEFA regulations to stage matches at this level. Instead, they’ll face Rangers on domestic rivals OH Leuven’s home turf. They play in the King Power at Den Dreef Stadion, 18 miles outside of the capital, Brussels. The venue switch will see more travelling fans accommodated for the first leg.
