The Rangers supporters who've travelled over to Norway for this one are already in their seats inside the Brann Stadion. About 800 of them have tickets in the away end.
While out and about earlier I was speaking to some of them, and the vast majority seemed intent on getting behind the new head coach Danny Rohl but acknowledged the need for a positive start.

Image source, SNSThe Danny Rohl Rangers era begins. The Ibrox board will be hoping it lasts longer than his predecessor's 123 days.
It has been a whirlwind few days for the young German coach, who was only appointed on Monday.
His first assignment is a Europa League trip to Norway to face Brann.
Rangers have zero points from their opening two league phase games, so a win is much-needed for that reason - and more.

Jimmy Thelin has also made two changes to the side that started the late win at St Mirren on Saturday.
Attacking duo Topi Keskinen and Marko Lazetic are in for defender Gavin Molloy and striker Kevin Nisbet.
Ex-Hearts man James Penrice, who made the move to Athens in the summer, starts for the Greek side.

Danny Rohl makes two changes to the Rangers side that started their 2-2 draw with Dundee United on Saturday.
The German brings in defender Nasser Djiga and much-maligned striker Youssef Chermiti.

Celtic and Sturm Graz have never previously faced in European competition – the Scots have won just two out of 12 games against Austrian sides (D3 L7) and have lost their last three games against Austrian teams.
Sturm Graz have won three of their five previous major European matches against Scottish teams (L2), including a 2-1 win over Rangers last time out. Barcelona in 2007-08 are the only side to ever beat both Celtic and Rangers in a single European campaign in the UEFA Champions League.
This match will be Brendan Rodgers’ 63rd in Europe with Celtic (inc. qualifiers), moving him outright second ahead of Neil Lennon (62) for European games managed, behind only Jock Stein (68).
Sturm Graz rank bottom for passes per sequence (2.4), open play sequences with 10+ passes (3), average sequence time (5.9 seconds) and successful passes (491) in the UEFA Europa League this season.
Celtic winger Sebastian Tounekti has made the most opposition half take-ons (15) in the UEFA Europa League this season, while he’s also made the most take-ons in the opposition box (5).
