Rangers vs Benfica LIVE score and goal updates from the Europa League clash at Ibrox

Glasgow has seen a torrential downpour all day but nothing can dampen the enthusiasm of Rangers fans on Europa League Thursdays.

The Light Blues have enjoyed some epic nights in this competition and Philippe Clement's men are looking to serve up a teatime treat against Portuguese giants Benfica.

Rangers earned a 2-2 draw in the first leg in the Estadio da Luz to set up a mouthwatering 90 minutes – or maybe more – in their bid to book their place in Friday's quarter final draw.

Clement has injury issues to contend with as first leg goal hero Dujon Sterling is unavailable but there is better news with Todd Cantwell fit to play at least some part of this return leg.

Benfica boss Roger Schmidt has been under huge pressure recently after a wobble which has seen them slip to second place in the Super Liga behind city rivals Sporting.

Ibrox has witnessed some epic European nights and progress this evening could see an evening up there with the best of them.

Yilmaz vs Di Maria

Turkish left-back is now one of the most reliable figures in the Ibrox squad. The pint-sized 22-year-old had to be on his toes against Benfica’s World Cup-winning veteran but barely gave the Argentine a sniff at the Stadium of Light.

Yilmaz needs to be careful of giving the winger opportunities to swing in from set-piece situations. Both Benfica goals came from Di Maria dead-ball deliveries.

Lundstram vs Silva

In what was easily his poorest display in months, Lundstram looked leggy in Lisbon.
