Jagiellonia
Jagiellonia Bialystok and Rangers will meet in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round 6 August 2026 at 17:00 BST. The match will be played in Bialystok at the Municipal Stadium.
Jagiellonia Bialystok's strong form could pose a serious test for the team from Glasgow. Rangers remain favourites even away in Poland, but the Scots' chances of victory should be treated with caution.
Two years after their triumph in the Polish league, Jagiellonia Bialystok remain one of the title contenders. Adrian Siemieniec's side have started the new campaign superbly with two wins in a row, while in the Ekstraklasa only Legia Warsaw have also managed a perfect start. Against Korona Kielce (1:0) and Motor Lublin (2:1), the yellow-reds rarely opened up — in the latter match, Over 2.5 goals landed only after two goals in the final 10 minutes. Jagiellonia Bialystok did not take risks even against obvious outsiders — they produced only 0.88 xG in Lublin and had far fewer touches in the opposition box (22-31).
Rangers have made a patchy start under their new manager. Derek McInnes had only two pre-season friendlies with the Blues, in which they looked decent. The Glasgow side beat Saint-Etienne (2:1) and drew with West Ham United (0:0), but their Premiership debut did not go to plan — an away draw with Dundee United (1:1). In that match, the capital club produced 1.46 xG and had 21 shots — an impressive return, but only Thelo Aasgaard stood out in the squad, having already done enough to earn a move to a top league.
Rangers' squad is 4.6 times more expensive than the team from Bialystok's (EUR133 million versus EUR28.6 million). In Poland, Jagiellonia Bialystok will try to keep things comfortable in front of their home crowd — that may be enough to give them a chance in Glasgow. The Blues will not take risks either — the game will feature plenty of counter-attacks, but nobody will dominate possession for long spells.
