Philippe Clement and his team are in Lublin, Poland for the first leg of the tie tonight. This match will be broadcast live on Premier Sports 1.

Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning, BBC Scotland, said: "The European qualifying matches during the summer proved to be big draws for our audiences last year and we’re delighted that we’ve again been able to secure live rights for several games already this season.
"There’ll be significant audience interest in our live coverage of Rangers taking on Dynamo Kyiv in the second leg as they aim for a place in the Champions League play-off stage."

Meanwhile, two VAR officials have allegedly been arrested in Poland ahead of helping referee the match between Dynamo Kyiv and Rangers.
According to reports in Poland, Bartosz Frankowski and Tomasz Musial were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning after allegedly stealing a road sign in Lublin.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
