Brann vs Rangers prediction
Brann come into this one on the back of an impressive 4-1 hammering of Haugesund. They are third in the Norwegian Eliteserien, seven points behind league leaders Viking. They have started the league phase of their UEFA Europa League campaign with a defeat to Lille in France before a win over Utrecht at home.
It has been a miserable campaign thus far for Rangers but they have now sacked Russell Martin and replaced him with former Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl. The Bears returned from the October international break with a 2-2 draw with Dundee United. They have won just five of their 18 matches across all competitions so far this season.
That woeful run from Rangers has been catastrophic and it will take some time for Rohl to turn things around but the avoidance of defeat in Norway still remains something they should be capable of achieving.
Brann vs Rangers tip: Double chance – Rangers to win or draw
