Rangers are in London to take on Women’s Super League giants Arsenal in a Champions League qualifier tonight.
Jo Potter’s side are competing in Europe’s top competition for only the second time in their history and will go head-to-head with the Gunners in the group three semi-final.
The winners of tonight’s clash will face Norwegian club Rosenborg - who beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in a sensational penalty shootout earlier today – in Saturday’s group three final.
Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall confirmed England Lioness Beth Mead will not be fit for the fixture.
It will be the Gunners' first competitive game of the 2024/25 campaign.
Winners of the domestic cup double last season, Jo Potter’s side face a huge test in North London – but one the former Arsenal midfielder is relishing against her old club.
“As you can imagine it is one of the most prestigous tournaments that there is,” she told RangersTV. “That is what everybody wants to play in, you always hear the question of World Cup or Champions League and it is a hard one so I think that just brings its own level of excitement.
“The opposition brings its own level of excitement as well. We know it is going to be a difficult task but it is also an exciting one. We need to make sure that we are prepared for it, but we also want to enjoy every moment too.
“I think we have pulled out the highest seeded team available in the draw so it is tough but that is what it is there for. There is a bit of pressure on them to get out of this stage because they didn't do it last year so they have got to make sure that they are doing their homework on us, particularly as we are the first team up.”

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!
