Expect goals at both ends and Rangers, bolstered by their thumping of Aberdeen, to grab their first point to avoid any unwanted worst ever statistics. Record Sport writers make their picks ahead of the game. Supporters of the the Dutch champions aren't buying their side's efforts in Group A – 12 months on from Erik Ten Hag guiding Ajax to a perfect six wins out of six in the group stage. But the mood music around Ibrox has changed in the wake of their dominant 4-1 win over Aberdeen as they seek a stirring result against the Eredivisie champions.

The Dutch champions won that match 4-0 and will play in the Europa League next season unless Rangers defeat them by at least four goals while scoring at least five.

Rangers host Ajax in the UEFA Champions League tonight, so we simulated the game to try and predict the final score.

It wouldn't be enough to qualify for the Europa League, but ending their European season with a victory would at least send the Rangers fans home happy on Tuesday. The Gers introduced Alfredo Morelos with 25 minutes to go, and the striker drew the game level with just a couple of minutes remaining. With just minutes remaining, Rangers opted to throw everything forward and go for the win rather than settle for a draw. Ajax started the game on top at the Ibrox, with most of the early chances falling their way. Ajax could make a lot of changes for the clash at the Ibrox, but Rangers currently have a big injury problem as well as a key player being suspended. With just one goal scored and a -18 goal difference, a loss against Ajax tonight would seal their fate at the bottom of the group.
