Rangers progressed to the Europa League final in Seville in May 2022 where they lost an exciting match against Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have played the Scottish record champions four times to date. Rangers came out on top in the second round of the UEFA Cup in the 1998/99 season with a 2-1 away win and a 1-1 draw. The Werkself gained revenge in 2019/20 in the Europa League Round of 16: Bayer 04 went through to the next round thanks to two wins (3-1 and 1-0).

The winter timetable for the Alonso team is as follows: After the final Bundesliga game of the year at home to VfB Stuttgart (12 November), the team will travel to St Louis for the #Bayer04USATour from 13 to 18 November.

The Bayer 04 players will have time off over Christmas before returning on 2 January 2023 for the final preparations for the competitive games in the new calendar year.

Here's the Matchday News.
