Leipzig and Rangers will on Thursday slug it out in the first leg semi final of the UEFA Europa League.
Having failed to qualify from their Champions league group, Leipzig’s participation in this tie means this is the first time since 2015/16 that at least a team that has dropped from the UCL will be reaching the last four of the Europa League.
For Rangers, this is their first major European competition Semi Final since 2007/08 when they finished as runners up to Zenit in the UEFA Cup. Like Leipzig, Rangers will be gunning to remain in contention for their first Europa League title. This makes Thursday’s tie a potential cracker.

LEIPZIG
This is their second major European Semi Final having also qualified for this stage of the Champions League in 2019/20 season.
Leipzig head into this tie on the back of a 2-1 home loss to Union Berlin. That game was their first defeat in all competitions since a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich back in February.
Since the emergence of Domenico Tedesco at the helm in December, Leipzig have earned a total of 16 wins and just three defeats coming from 24 games.
In addition, they will draw confidence from the fact that they can end the campaign with two pieces of silverware, the other one potentially coming in the DFB Pokal where they face Freiburg in the final.
RANGERS
They have now reached a 7th Semi Final of a major European competition, equaling Celtic’s record of the most by a Scottish side.
Like Leipzig, Rangers are also edging towards a potential double after getting to this stage of the Europa League and the final of the Scottish Cup where they tackle Hearts.
Rangers are looking like they will be losing the league title to arch rivals Celtic. With 10 points behind the Celts, Van Bronchost’s men would be hoping to put smiles on the faces of their fans by getting their hands on the Europa league.
To make this happen, they must be at their very best in this first leg tie.
