Steven Gerrard hailed Rangers' 3-1 home win over Rapid Vienna as their best performance of his Ibrox tenure and a similar effort is required if the Gers are to qualify in Austria.

Rangers had five shots on target to Rapid's one in the reverse fixture with Alfredo Morelos sealing victory after a slick counter-attacking move in the 94th minute.

The qualification situation – Villarreal and Rapid have seven points with Rangers on six, needing a win to progress – increases the chances of another frantic finish.

Betway offer evens about a goal being scored after the clock ticks past 75:00 and Rapid scored in the 80th and 90th minutes of their win at Spartak Moscow last time out.

Recommendation
Last goal to be scored in 76th minute or later
2pts Evs Betway
