"SK Sturm Graz are one of the most well-known clubs from Austria. They have regularly played in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League over the years. Die Schwoazn have won the Austrian Bundesliga just fives times though - in 1998, 1999, 2011, 2024 and 2025. They have also finished runners-up on eight occasions. Sturm Graz have won the ÖFB-Cup seven times and the Austrian Supercup on three occasions."
"Rangers are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and are aiming to have a successful season, but things have been dire for the Gers in recent weeks. The Gers are as low as eighth in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with just seven points from six matches. Rangers are as many as nine points behind leaders Hearts and are unlikely to even challenge for the league title. Rangers also made a losing start to their UEFA Europa League campaign."
SK Sturm Graz will host Rangers at the Merkur Arena in a UEFA Europa League group-stage match with kick-off at 8pm UK time on Thursday. Sturm Graz have European experience and recent domestic success, winning the Austrian Bundesliga in 1998, 1999, 2011, 2024 and 2025, plus multiple ÖFB-Cup and Supercup titles. They come off a 1-0 league win over TSV Hartberg and a 2-0 Europa League loss to FC Midtjylland. Several players are injured, with Christensen, Hierlander, Aiwu and others likely starters. Rangers sit eighth in Scotland, with mixed results and a losing start in Europe, arriving after a 2-1 win at Livingston.
