Euro Round-up: Rangers Put Three Past Viktoria Plzen

Rangers beat Viktoria Plzen 3-0 at Ibrox on August 5, 2025, in the first leg of the Champions League third qualifying round.
After a disappointing 1-1 draw at Motherwell on August 2, manager Russell Martin made four changes to demand more energy from his players.
Djeidi Gassama scored twice, including a header from Oliver Antman's cross, and Cyriel Dessers added a penalty to secure the win.
Dessers reflected positively on the match, noting their strong performance and victory, as Rangers prepare to face Viktoria Plzen away in the return leg next Tuesday, entering the game as clear favourites.
The 3-0 victory puts Rangers on the brink of qualifying for the Champions League play-off round, where their next opponent will be decided between RB Salzburg and Club Brugge.
