Aris Limassol vs Rangers: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time, team news, referee and VAR for Europa League clash
IT's been a hectic week for Rangers fans, but it doesn't stop there as the Light Blues travel to Cyprus for Europa League action this week.
The Ibrox club make the trip to Limassol with Steven Davis and Alex Rae at the helm after Michael Beale was sacked on Sunday.
The veteran midfielder would have hoped to make it on the pitch at one point during this year's European campaign after being sidelined for months with a nasty knee ligament injury.
But instead, he will lead the dugout after taking managerial duties on an interim basis following Beale's departure.
And the Northern Irishman has been thrown into the deep end with his first match as gaffer coming on European soil.
Rangers kicked off their Group C campaign with a 1-0 win against Spanish side Real Betis two weeks ago under Beale, and now it's down to Davis and co to continue the campaign in Cyprus.
