Rangers v Alashkert: TV channel, live stream, kick off time, referee and score prediction for Europa League clash

Rangers take on Alashkert in the Europa League playoff round on Thursday night.

It wasn't the game they wanted to be playing this week but it is the one they have to take part in with the Armenian side travelling to Ibrox.

Steven Gerrard's men have reached the group stage of this tournament in each of his three years in charge and are guaranteed a minimum of the Europa Conference League if they lose out here.

But the Ibrox men will be hoping they can blow away Alashkert in the first leg, with a long trip before Rangers take on Celtic in 10 days time.

Here's everything you need to know about the first leg.

Where and when is the game taking place?

The match is at Ibrox on Thursday, August 19.

Kick-off is at 8pm.

Is it on TV?

No, the game has not been picked for TV by Premier Sports or BT Sports.

Will there be a live stream?

Since the game isn't televised, Rangers will be streaming the game.

Fans can purchase it on PPV for £9.99.

Who is the referee?

Greek referee Tases Sidiropoulos is the man in the middle for this one with assistants Polychornis Kostaras and Lazaros Dimitriadiadis helping him.

Sidiropoulos has had one game so far this season, and dished out five yellow cards.

He was quite card happy last season too, with 129 yellows and 11 red cards in 29 games last season, including two sending offs in an international friendly.

Prediction

You'd expect Rangers to have the capabilities to blow Alashkert away at Ibrox.

Steven Gerrard will be backing the likes of Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent to put them on their way to the group stage.

Prediction: Rangers 3 Alashkert 1.
