How to watch today’s Sturm Graz vs Rangers game: TV channel, live stream, kick-off time
Rangers continue their Europa League journey on Thursday night when they take on Austrian champions Sturm Graz at the Merkur-Arena.
Russell Martin’s job is still under major pressure at Rangers despite a 2-1 win at Livingston on Saturday.
Rangers fans heckled Martin after full-time at Almondvale, proving that the ex-Southampton boss still has a long way to go in order to win over the Ibrox faithful.
After Rangers lost 1-0 to Genk in their opening league phase of this season’s Europa League, there’s also a lot of work to be done in Europe.
Next up is a showdown with Sturm Graz and here, Ibrox News has all the details fans need to know ahead of kick-off.

Make-or-Break for Russell Martin at Rangers
Martin has picked up just one Scottish Premiership win this season, leaving his side eighth in the standings.
Failing to win in their opening game in the Europa League was a worrying moment for the manager, with fans holding hope that they could still achieve European glory.
Martin has lost that connection with the fans over recent weeks, heading down the tunnel on Sunday despite celebrations between the fans and the players.
This recurring feud between the manager and the fans could spell the end for Martin.
If Rangers fail to pick up a win on Thursday, the post-match scenes could boil over, and Martin could find himself out of the job.
