How to watch Rangers vs Panathinaikos: Live stream Champions League qualifier online for FREE
The road to the Puskas Arena begins here. The 25/26 Champions League final is being staged in Budapest, but before we get too carried away there's the small matter of UCL qualifying. Tuesday's game at Ibrox is Rangers' first competitive fixture under Russell Martin, and with Panathinaikos kitted out in green and white and wearing a shamrock on their crest, it feels like a dress rehearsal for a certain Old Firm rival.

The state of Scottish football means any campaign that sees Rangers fail to pick up silverware goes down in infamy, and that's exactly what transpired last season. This will be former Southampton manager Martin's first taste of European action, and it comes after a decidedly underwhelming preseason. They've only managed draws against Club Brugge and League One club Barnsley.
Rangers last qualified for the Champions League in 22/23, and the less said about that campaign the better. They lost all six group games, scoring two and conceding 22. In the past two years they've failed to get past Dynamo Kyiv and PSV Eindhoven in qualifying.
70/71 finalists Panathinaikos have waited 14 years to get back to the big time, suffering numerous near-misses in the intervening period. Former Benfica coach Rui Vitoria's men should be much sharper than their opponents, having had an extremely busy month, with narrow defeats to Nordsjælland and Braga and a draw with Schalke bookended by victories over Metalist Kharkiv and Westerlo.
