Panathinaikos vs Rangers Match Preview

The first leg in Glasgow was a tale of two halves. Rangers relied on goalkeeper Jack Butland’s heroics early on before youngster Findlay Curtis and new signing Djeidi Gassama struck to give the hosts control of the tie.

Panathinaikos went down to 10 men shortly after the hour mark, but Rangers couldn’t add a third. That leaves the door slightly ajar as Rui Vitoria’s side look to rally at home.

Domestically, neither side has started their campaign yet, with Rangers recently drawing 2-2 in a friendly against Middlesbrough as part of their preparation.
