Rangers face Viktoria Plzen without key player Mikey Moore, but hope for Oliver Antman's inclusion.

Mikey Moore misses Rangers clash while Oliver Antman awaits registration

Rangers will not have Mikey Moore available for their important Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen. However, new signing Oliver Antman may be able to participate in the match at Ibrox. The team, managed by Russell Martin, is eager to secure a victory against the Czech side to advance in the tournament. If they lose, they will still have a chance to compete in the Europa League group stage. Rangers recently signed Antman from Go Ahead Eagles for approximately £4 million, increasing their summer signings to nine. Unfortunately, UEFA clearance for Moore has been delayed due to his age, preventing him from playing.

This match represents not only a crucial step in Rangers' campaign but also highlights the club's strategic push for strengthening their squad. With new player Antman potentially making his debut, the pressure is on the team to perform well despite their setbacks. As Rangers aim for European football, this qualifying round tests their resilience and adaptability. Recent frustrations from their first league match suggest that the squad is under scrutiny as they work to find their form after a challenging season start.

Highlights

Rangers will need to overcome these challenges to fulfill their ambitions this season.
