REACHING the Champions League group stage would give Philippe Clement's Rangers rebuild a massive boost but they face two tough hurdles in their bid to grab the Euro millions.
First up is a third-round qualifier against Dynamo Kiev and the Ukrainians head into the game on a high after thrashing Partizan Belgrade 9-2 in the last round.
With a brutal conflict still raging in their homeland, Dynamo Kiev will have to play tonight's ‘home' leg in Poland but it's something they've become accustomed to over the last couple of years.
And Rangers also won't be playing the second leg at their ground, with delays over refurbishments at Ibrox forcing them to rent out Hampden for the first couple of months this season.
A play-off tie against either RB Salzburg or Twente awaits if Rangers can get past the Ukrainians but they will need a big improvement on Saturday's display in the 0-0 draw against Hearts to stand a chance.

Dynamo Kiev v Rangers Top Betting Tips
With Dynamo Kiev smashing nine goals past Partizan in the last round and Rangers weakened after losing key players over the summer, I expected the Ukrainians to be odds-against for tonight's first leg. But they are 11/10 with Betfred and that looks well worth a punt based on recent displays.
The last ‘home' tie for Dynamo Kiev ended in a 6-2 scoreline so it could also pay to back plenty of goals tonight. BTTS is just 4/7 but over 3.5 goals offers more value at 7/4. Over 1.5 goals for the Ukrainians also looks good at 10/11.
We could see a few cards with so much at stake and Rangers midfielder Mohamed Diomande is 9/4 at Bet365 to go in the book.
Lille v Fenerbahce Top Tips
There's always plenty of drama whenever Jose Mourinho is around and his first few weeks at Fenerbahce have certainly been entertaining.
The Turks saw off Lugano in the second round of Champions League qualifying and both games were thrillers, with a 4-3 win in Switzerland followed by a 2-1 triumph at home.
Mourinho usually concentrates on sorting out the defence first so he won't have been happy with leaking four goals across both of those ties.
French side Lille represent a step up in class so I'd imagine the Fenerbahce boss will set his side up to frustrate this time. That makes the half-time draw appealing at 11/10 while under 2.5 goals is a bit shorter at 4/5.
Edin Dzeko scored four times for the Turks in that win over Lugano so looks a little overpriced at 9/4 for another strike tonight.
Malmo v PAOK Salonika Top Tips
The Champions League qualifier between Malmo and PAOK Salonika should be tight as there doesn't seem to be too much between the teams.
Malmo should have the edge for the first leg at home, especially with their domestic season already halfway through. They sit top of the pile in Sweden so look in decent shape and Betfred price them at 5/4 for a win on the night.
PAOK Salonika will take heart from the fact Malmo have conceded in their last eight games and this is a tie that should deliver a few goals. BTTS is just 8/13 with Betfred but combining that with over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 21/20 at Bet365.
Another move that could pay off is combining Malmo in the double chance with over 2.5 goals, a bet that pays 8/5 with Betfred.

Premier League
Arsenal to win the League at 15/8
Had my doubts about Arsenal this coming season but the signing of the Italian defender Calafiori could be a gamechanger for them. All that Arsenal really lack now is an out and out striker but I think they will sign one before the deadline, and the only other doubt would be confidence after the last couple of seasons. Man City have their charges to answer to which could lead to points deduction.
Italian Serie A
Inter Milan at 1.62

Celtic at 1.25 (just to boost the odds)

Crystal Palace top 6 finish at 12/1
Crystal Palace to half finish at 11/8 (BANKER)
Crystal Palace have been nothing but impressive since their new manager took charge and they are actually great to watch taking some big scalps at the back end of last season. Palace are now an attacking threat even though one of their star players have left they still have some quality and can’t be ruled out finishing higher than they have ever finished before.
