Bursaspor are looking to gain their first points in the Champions League after finally scoring their first goal in the competition while being destroyed by Spanish giants Valencia in the previous round of games two weeks ago.
The Turkish champions come into the tie on the back of a demoralising one goal defeat away to Besiktas, which saw them fail to apply pressure on current Turkish league leaders Trabzonspor, who have extended their lead to five points as a result of this week's fixtures.
The Green Crocodiles will also have to deal with the fact that they played Besiktas only two days before the Champions League fixture, in which they played the entire second half with only 10 men after playmaker Volkan Sen was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in the space of one minute.
Victory Is Vital
The Scottish champions visit Turkey after being left in cold storage for the last two weeks, with their Scottish Premier League fixtures against both Dundee United and Hearts having been cancelled due to the extreme weather in Scotland over the last week.
Rangers go into the final game of their Champions League group knowing that a victory will help them secure a seeding place in the knockout stages of the Europa League, so that they can avoid some of the big guns which will include names such as Manchester City and Liverpool.
With third place secured, Walter Smith may look to rest striker Kenny Miller, who has been the Ibrox side’s workhorse, having had a lack of a partner in the Rangers forward line.
TEAM NEWS
Bursaspor
Bursaspor go into their final Champions League game without the services of Ali Tandogan, who is still out after sustaining a serious head injury that he received in the Turkish champions' 2-2 draw with Antalyaspor at the start of November.
The Green Crocodiles could also be without defender Ibrahim Ozturk, who was taken from the field during Bursaspor’s 1-0 defeat away to Besiktas.
Ertugrul Saglam may be wanting to make changes for the meaningless game for the Turkish side after they were forced to play their away game at Besiktas on Sunday afternoon.
Possible starting XI: Ivankov; Wederson, Aziz, Erdogan, Keceli; Ergic, Svennsson, Batalla, Volkan Sen; Yildirim, Bahadir.
Rangers
The Scottish champions welcome back defender Madjid Bougherra, who has recovered from a hamstring injury in order to make the trip to Turkey.
Walter Smith’s side will also have to do without Kirk Broadfoot due to a foot injury, while Sasa Papac is not fit enough to be selected for the Champions League fixture as he recovers from a head injury.
The Ibrox side still have long-term absentees Andy Webster (hamstring), Maurice Edu (knee), Kyle Lafferty (hand) and Nikica Jelavic (ankle) as Smith’s side look to claim their second win in this season’s competition.
Possible starting XI: McGregor; Foster, Weir, Bougherra, Whittaker; Weiss, Davis, Hutton, McCulloch, Naismith; Beattie.
Prediction
Bursaspor will be looking to reward their supporters after what has been a terrible campaign for the Turkish champions, in which they have only scored one goal. Rangers, however, will be fresh, after having not played since their last Champions League fixture against Manchester United.
Bursaspor 0-2 Rangers
