Lech Poznan vs Rangers prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa League 2020-21
Rangers travel to the Stadion Miejski in Poznan for the last UEFA Europa League Group D game against Lech Poznan.
Rangers have already qualified for the round of 32, but haven't yet assured themselves of top spot in the group.
Steven Gerrard's men only need to match Benfica's result in the final group game to finish top of the group. The Portuguese giants face Standard Liege in Belgium in the group's other clash on Thursday evening.
Rangers' recent form has been spotless, but for the two draws in Benfica. Last week, a topsy-turvy game at Ibrox ended in a 3-2 win for Rangers over Standard Liege. Gerrard's side went behind twice in the first half, but Scott Arfield scored the winner in the second half to ensure qualification for the knockout stages.
The Scottish league leaders warmed up for this game with a comfortable 4-0 win over Ross County that put them 13 points ahead of Celtic in the league, even though they have played two games more than their Glasgow rivals.
Lech Poznan are out of the competition, having gained only three points from their opening five games. Their only win in the group stage came when they beat Standard Liege 2-1 at home on matchday three.
