Rangers are aiming to reach their first European final in over a decade when they take on RB Leipzig in the Europa League semi-finals this week.

The Gers lost to Zenit St Petersburg in the 2008 UEFA Cup final and now have an opportunity to challenge for prestigious silverware once more.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has guided his team through three knockout rounds so far against Dortmund, Red Star and Braga. That famous victory over Dortmund will give his men plenty of hope going into this showdown against Bundesliga opposition.

RB Leipzig trail Dortmund by nine points in the German top flight but they have recorded some huge results on the continent in 2021/22.

Leipzig defeated Manchester City and drew with PSG in the Champions League group stages before falling into the Europa League draw. They are undefeated in four Europa League knockout games against Real Sociedad and Atalanta.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch RB Leipzig v Rangers on TV and online.

Our prediction: RB Leipzig v Rangers

On paper, RB Leipzig are the favourites but not to the overwhelming extent the odds would suggest. Rangers are firmly in this tie to win it.

The Scottish side have performed admirably on the continent this season – and in plenty of prior campaigns recently – and will relish the challenge of going up against RB Leipzig.

The hosts boast quality among their ranks but Rangers have weapons of their own capable of hitting them on the break. We could be in for a goal-fest at the Red Bull Arena.

Our prediction: RB Leipzig 2-2 Rangers (20/1 at Bet365)
