Steven Gerrard's men require victory in Austria if they are to reach the last 32 of the competition but our tipster is backing the home side here
Rangers require victory against Rapid Vienna if they are to reach the Europa League knockout stages.
Steven Gerrard's men have lost just one of their 13 matches in the competition thus far this term, but failure to pick up all three points in the Austrian capital will see the Scottish side crash out.
Rapid's Europa League dreams were hanging by a thread after a 3-1 defeat at Ibrox was followed by a humiliating 5-0 hammering at the hands of Villarreal but a stunning late victory against Spartak Moscow means Dietmar Kuhbauer's side have their fate in their own hands.
Rapid are available at 5/4 (2.25) with William Hill to win on home soil, while the same firm go 5/2 (3.50) that the match ends in a draw - either outcome would be enough to send the hosts through.
Rangers have scored five away goals in their previous two group games away from Glasgow, but have picked up just one point. William Hill go 2/1 (3.0) that the Gers record a vital victory in Vienna.
The hosts have no fresh concerns ahead of this one and Kuhbauer could name the same side that delivered victory in Moscow last month.
Daniel Candeias misses this match through suspension after being sent off against Villarreal last month and the visitors may well miss the Portuguese star's presence.
Rangers have performed reasonably well under Gerrard thus far this term, but they have won just one of their six matches away from home in this competition.
Rapid, by contrast, have lost just two of their last 20 home matches in the Europa League and that impressive record could give the Austrians the edge here. William Hill go 2/1 (3.0) that the hosts hold a half-time lead.
Rapid's record on home soil in this competition is enviable and it may well give the Austrians the edge on Thursday night. The 5/4 (2.25) quote, then, for Kuhbauer's charges to claim victory against Rangers could represent excellent value for punters.
