When Rangers play Aris Limassol, manager Philippe Clement will be eager to keep his team undefeated at the club.
The Cypriot team, currently leading their domestic league, will play their Europa League group round match at Ibrox on Thursday, November 30.
The Gers are now ranked second in Group C of the competition, far ahead of their next opponents.
But fans of the Glasgow club know that a straightforward game is far from a certainty, with Aris having defeated Rangers 2-1 in the reverse fixture last month, in the latter’s only defeat in this season’s tournament.
However, supporters can draw a lot of comfort from Aris’s problems away from home, since the Gers have received a double boost in that area.
According to BBC Sport (November 29), the Cypriot team has suffered a 4-1 loss in their past two away games against Real Betis and Karmiotissa.
Ibrox should be lively throughout the encounter as the home crowd attempts to end Aris’s disastrous run, especially as they have lost their last four away games in European play.
A boisterous crowd under the lights really can make all the difference on big European nights, and Clement will be hoping the Ibrox supporters can act as the club’s 12th man.
At this crucial point in the season, a home win would relieve a great deal of pressure on the management by guaranteeing Rangers’ spot in the next round.
With nine points, Real Betis of Spain is presently leading the rankings, two points ahead of Rangers and five ahead of Sparta Prague, who is in third place.
Given that they have to go to Real Betis for their last group match the following month, Rangers will be eager to complete the match against their Cypriot opponents.
