Union SG do their Rangers homework on the Playstation but boss warns there's no Champions League cheat code

Union Saint-Gilloise's shock troops claim they know all about Rangers – from the PlayStation. But boss Karel Geraerts has warned his team must be switched on if they’re to seal a spot among the Champions League big boys.

Defender Siebe Van Der Heyden revealed last week he’d got the lowdown on the Ibrox outfit after coming across their digital alter egos while playing FIFA 22 on his gaming console. But there’s nothing virtual about the reality of tonight’s clash, with £40million on the line for the side who can complete their qualifying mission and reach the group stage.

The pressure is on Rangers to make sure they hit all the right buttons against Union and build on last year’s Europa League run.
