Rangers will need to win against SK Brann after consecutive defeats in the UEFA Europa League.

Danny Rohl has now taken charge at Ibrox after a long-drawn-out saga which almost saw Steven Gerrard return to the Rangers dugout.

His first game will be an unconventional one as the Gers take on Brann in Norway on 23 October.

After two months of performances most fans will want to forget, Rohl will be hoping to give them something to celebrate on Thursday.

Rangers are not favourites against Brann

While Rohl is backed to succeed at Ibrox, his first game could be one difficult to navigate.

According to Opta’s Supercomputer, Rangers are not the favourites to win the confrontation.

Indeed, the home side have a whopping 51.1 per cent chance of victory while the Gers have a 24 per cent chance of claiming their first Europa League win of the season.

There is a 24.9 per cent chance that the game ends level, in what seems like another blow for Rangers fans.

What form are both teams in?

While the Supercomputer’s predictions provide some insight, both teams' current form could give a more well-rounded view of the potential outcome.

Rangers have won one in their last five games
Brann have won three in their last five matches
Brann have won one of their two Europa League games

A deeper delve into their recent form and the odds only look worse for the Gers, who struggled under Russell Martin.

While Rohl is not Martin, expecting a new manager to win a game of football against a more in-form side away from home is a huge ask.

Despite being at Ibrox for a short time, Martin would have stamped some sort of identity onto the players. Months of playing a certain type of football will be difficult for Rohl to undo over a couple of days.

But new manager bounce is a thing in football, and Rohl is expected to make key changes to Rangers’ line-up before the game, which could come as a pleasant surprise for fans.

As a result, Rangers supporters may as well be cautiously optimistic about their upcoming confrontation.
