Rangers will be determined to avoid lightning striking twice in Luxembourg.

Two years ago, under the ill-fated Pedro Caixinha reign, the club held a 1-0 first leg lead against Progres.

However, a 2-0 reverse saw Rangers knocked out of the Europa League in arguably the club's worst result in Europe.

The evening culminated in Caixinha remonstrating with fans in a hedge.

Former Rangers striker Kenny Miller - now at Partick Thistle - has a succinct description of that night.

"It was more a disbelief of 'what's just happened?', because it shouldn't have happened," he told BBC Scotland.

"For all the build-up and the dream to achieve European football again and talk of reaching the group stages, it was more of a disbelief of what had happened, because it shouldn't have."

Rangers midfielder Steven Davis will be cooling his heels - and his hamstring - during tonight's second leg in Luxembourg.

The Northern Ireland international is the only absentee from the 2-0 victory at Ibrox, as he nurses a tight hamstring.

"The players are in good shape and have trained really well," says Rangers manager Steven Gerrard.

"We have come over here with a fully-fit squad besides Steven Davis and everyone is focused and tuned-in to finish the job off.

"Steven had a tight hamstring after the Derby game. I think, at a real, big push he could have been with us, but at this stage of the season and such an important player, it's not worth taking a risk.

"I think he'll have a good chance [of facing Kilmarnock in the Premiership on Sunday]."

The Rangers players are in relaxed mood as they take a stroll across the sun-kissed turf at the Stade Josy Barthel.

What do Rangers need in Luxembourg tonight? Goals either side of half-time from summer signings Joe Aribo and Sheyi Ojo gave Steven Gerrard's troops an advantage from the first leg at Ibrox.

Rangers, with a two-goal lead, should be confident of progressing at Progres' expense.
