- Venue: Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow)
Every Rangers' season is determined by the result in the Scottish Premiership. After only eight rounds, the Rangers are already six points behind the Celtic arch-rival. Philippe Clement's team lost two of the last three matches in all competitions. Last weekend, Rangers shockingly lost 1-0 on the road against Kilmarnock. The guests had a bigger ball possession and more shots on the goal, but Rangers once again lacked efficiency. Another defeat surely raised some alarms in the squad.
FCSB didn't start the 2024/25 season well, as they were kicked off from the Champions League qualifications, while in the Romanian league, they made too big a deficit that will be hard to overcome. However, FCSB are better with every game. In the last five matches, they won all five in all competitions. In the previous game, FCSB won 2-0 on the road against Dinamo Bucuresti. That was another good performance, so FCSB will head to the upcoming Europa League game with a lot of confidence.
Rangers vs FCSB pick: Under 2.5 goals
Rangers scored only six goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, FCSB allowed only two goals in the previous four games. We should expect a low-scoring game on Thursday between these two teams.
Rangers team news
After a disappointing defeat against Kilmarnock, fans and some club legends are asking head coach Philippe Clement to resign. However, the manager said, "I was not pleased with that game in the first half. The second half was much better, but then you get this goal against. In the end, if you win this game, which was possible in the second half, and you score the goal, you can have a totally different feeling. But we didn't do enough to get that feeling, so we need to learn from that and be stronger on Thursday and the Sunday after and the weeks to come."

FCSB team news
While the Rangers seem to be in all sorts of trouble, FCSB won in a derby against Dinamo over the weekend. After the game, FCSB's head coach Elias Charalambous said, "I think the attitude and focus was good. The tactical instructions followed, and at 1-0, we continued to press. It was a beautiful goal for Bîrligea. I'm happy with his attitude and the way he attacked spaces. It was a good team game. It is important that we have successfully started this series of hard games. It helps us psychologically."
