Rangers have won the opening game of the Europa League 2-0 away to Malmo. A first minute goal from Nadim Bajrami set Rangers on the path to victory straight away, and Philippe Clement’s side were vastly superior. Ross McCausland made the score 2-0 in the second half. Rangers were good enough to have won by four or five.

Fenerbahçe and Rangers kicked off with three points, as did Tottenham Hotspur despite playing 82 minutes with ten men, but Ajax were the biggest winners of Matchday 1.

Rangers made history in their Europa League campaign by securing a first-ever win on Swedish soil, defeating Malmo in their group stage opener. The Scottish side showed both composure and resilience in a high-pressure environment, setting a strong foundation for the remainder of their European journey.

This is how much Rangers will earn from their participation in the Europa League this year - and how it compares to Celtic’s Champions League earnings.

It has been absolutely pelting down all day in Malmo as Rangers prepare for their opening Europa League fixture here in Sweden. Thankfully it appears to be subsiding as we approach kick off. If not, my laptop will be toast come half-time.
