What channel is Bayer Leverkusen v Rangers on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Rangers travel to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League round of 16 this week.
Rangers are in the bizarre situation of competing in two football competitions in two different seasons right now.
Steven Gerrard’s men kicked off their 2020/21 Scottish Premiership campaign at the weekend, but are still alive and kicking in the 2019/20 Europa League knockout rounds.
The Gers face Bayer Leverkusen, one of their biggest tests to date, and must overturn a 3-1 deficit in the tie to progress.
Superstar Kai Havertz put the visitors ahead, Charles Aranguiz added to the tally and Leon Bailey capped off the win, while George Edmundson grabbed a potentially crucial goal back.
Rangers must find the net three times to stand any chance of qualification, can they do it?

Our prediction: Bayer Leverkusen v Rangers
There is zero pressure on Rangers right now, they can play with freedom and without fear. They have nothing to lose and potentially a whole lot to gain from attacking Leverkusen.
An early goal may be necessary to keep hopes up, and Gerrard’s men may have a fitness edge as the Bundesliga ended weeks ago and Rangers are already back in competitive action.
Do not underestimate Rangers in this one. They have enough to seize a win, but whether they have enough to overturn the deficit remains to be seen.
Our prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Rangers
