Former Rangers midfielder Lee McCulloch says his old side have a golden opportunity to reach the last 32 of the Europa League.
Rangers are top of Group G ahead of Thursday's visit of Spartak Moscow, who parted company with manager Massimo Carrera on Monday.
Steven Gerrard's side head into the clash in good form, with five wins from their last six matches in all competitions, including an emphatic 4-1 victory at Hamilton on Sunday.
"What a real chance they have got to progress," McCulloch told Sky Sports News.
"Spartak have just sacked their manager. You can see that as a positive in some aspects, but you could also see it as a negative as well because some of their players might get lift from that.
"We'll just wait and see what they bring to the table. They are a good team. They've not started the league campaign well but they're a good team with some good individual players

"But I think Rangers have got a bit of momentum going for them just now. Under the lights at Ibrox they've got to fancy their chances against anybody [especially due to] the form they are in."
