Viktoria Plzen vs Rangers injury news: 9 out as Russell Martin mulls over two major decisions in Europe
Rangers will look to take another huge step towards qualification for the Champions League as they face Viktoria Plzen in the second leg of the third qualifying round at the Doosan Arena on Tuesday (kick-off: 6pm). Russell Martin's side enter the game on the back of another difficult result in the Scottish Premiership, where they had James Tavernier's injury-time penalty to thank for rescuing a 1-1 draw against Dundee at Ibrox on Saturday evening. However, after inflicting a 3-0 defeat over their opponents in last week's first leg in Glasgow, the Gers head to Plzen well in control of the tie. In truth, the hosts have it all to do, and enter the game on the back of a difficult weekend result against 1. FC Slovácko in the Czech First League, where they were forced to settle for a 1-1 after conceding a 93rd-minute penalty. Despite their commanding lead, there's certain to be intrigue as to how Martin sets his side up. His shock starting XI saw both Tavernier and Nicolas Raskin dropped to the bench, though the latter may be handed a reprieve after rescuing a point for Rangers at the weekend.

Dynamo sign Czech M Ondrej Lingr through '28
March 28 - The Houston Dynamo acquired midfielder Ondrej Lingr on a full transfer from SK Slavia Prague on Friday. The 26-year-old Czech Republic native is signed through June 2028 with club options through 2029. Lingr will occupy Designated Player and international roster slots with the Dynamo upon receipt of his international paperwork. "Ondrej is a goal scoring midfielder with experience playing at the highest levels of European club and international football," Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad said. "He will make us a more dangerous attacking team with his verticality and penalty box presence, and he matches the defensive intensity that we look for in all Dynamo players." Lingr has tallied 55 goals and 14 assists in 258 appearances with Czech clubs Karvina (2017-20) and Slavia Prague (2020-23, 2024-25) and the Dutch side Feyenoord (2023-24). He won three trophies with Slavia Prague (Czech First League in 2021, Czech Cup in 2021 and 2023) and won the 2024 KNVB Cup and Dutch Super Cup with Feyenoord.
