Football explodes back onto our screens this midweek with a busy few days of action coming to us from the Champions League and Europa League. It’s the first round qualifying stage of each of UEFA’s competitions but there’s a heavy British interest, especially for followers of Scottish football. Here are our top St Joseph’s v Rangers betting tips.

Celtic take on Sarajevo in the Champions League and you can read an in-depth preview of that match elsewhere on our site. The Europa League also sees Rangers, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen get their campaigns underway as they aim to drive themselves towards the money-spinning group stages. It’s unlikely we’ll see each of the four Scottish teams playing in the groups, but each are expected to get through the first round without encountering too much bother.

Great News for Football Fans

It’s great news for football fans as, following a summer drought spent showing an interest in the Women’s World Cup and Copa America, we are back in business. This may not be the most glamorous ties you’ll bet on this year, but they have caused a stir amongst followers of the beautiful game who see it for what it is – a sign that we are fast-approaching the new season. We are certainly delighted to have competitive club football back.

The minnows of European football, St Joseph’s, set up for this match having finished third in the Gibraltar top division last season and that stat alone tells us they will struggle when up against the might of Steven Gerrard’s Rangers over two legs. The home side know they are massive underdogs to get anything out of this fixture, despite enjoying home advantage, but they will also be made aware of the many shock results we’ve seen in this competition over the last few years, including Rangers being eliminated by Progress under Perdro Caixinha. Could we see another shocker for the Gers fans?

St Joseph’s understand there’s never a good time for them to play a team of Rangers standing in the game, but they also know their opponents are only recently back from their pre-season break and aren’t up to full fitness yet. The locals played a game in the last round of the Europa League where they snuck through over two legs against all the odds. 180 minutes of competitive football only helps their chances and they’ll be a little fresher and fitter than the Glaswegians. To make that count they must explode out of the traps and make a fast start, aiming to catch Rangers off-guard. What’s the chances of that happening? Slim to none, according to bookmakers.
