Rangers and PSV meet for a second year in succession with a place in the Champions League group stages on the line.

The two-legged play-off encounter will determine which club is in the draw for the tournament proper on Thursday 31 August.

It was the Scottish side that progressed from this stage in 2022 with a narrow away victory, but Michael Beale’s side have endured a mixed start to the new season.

PSV, meanwhile, looked in good form in dispatching SK Sturm Graz by a 7-2 aggregate scoreline in the third qualifying round.

Here’s everything you need to know.
