Talking about Rangers vs Sparta Prague, the Rangers need three points over Sparta Prague on Thursday night to secure the second position in Europa League Group A and qualify for the knockout phase game.
The two teams, who are tied for fourth place in Group A with four points each, are coming off dismal domestic losses, and a loss in Glasgow might put an end to either team’s chances of progressing to the knockout rounds.
Rangers vs Sparta News
Rangers went to the pitch without Steven Gerrard as their head trainer for the first time in almost three years at the weekend, after his move to Aston Villa during the international break.
Former player Van Bronckhorst has subsequently taken over as manager, however, he had to witness his new team lose 3-1 to Hibernian in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals from the stands at Hampden Park.
The club’s hopes of reaching the Old Firm final are already gone, and their prospects of progressing in the Europa League are also in jeopardy after a more difficult group-stage performance than last year.
Sparta Prague was defeated 4-0 away from home by title rivals Slovanko in the Czech First League on Sunday.
For the time being, the 21-time winners, who are looking for their first top-flight title since 2013-14, remain on top, albeit the margin to second place has shrunk to three points.
Moreover, Pavel Vrba’s side is looking to avoid a third straight away loss after falling 3-0 to Lyon in the Europa League. Sparta, on the other hand, has a dismal European away record, having lost 10 of their past twelve games.

Match Prediction
Rangers need a victory to overtake Sparta Prague on goal distinction. Following Steven Gerrard’s move to Aston Villa, though, their preparations for this game have been far from perfect.
Because of the game’s importance, the two teams will battle toe-to-toe in their pursuit of maximum points. We believe the home team will win all three points, with goals coming from both ends.
