Rangers
In the first round of the Europa League, Gers suffered a fiasco on their own field from French Lyon (0:2) and away from the same Sparta (0:1), but then the team beat the upcoming opponent (2:0). In the third stage, the "plushies" outplayed Brondby (2:0) in their native walls, and in the fourth they dispersed in peace - 1:1. Now the Scots are on the third line with 4 points. It is important to note the fact that during the November break, Steven Gerrard left the team, whose place was taken by Giovanni van Bronkhorst.
Sparta Prague
On the European stage, Sparta started in the Champions League, but if it was not possible to pass the Vienna Rapid, then Monaco turned out to be too much for the Czech team.
