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.

The travelling support have been nowhere to be seen over the last 24 hours, no doubt taking shelter in some of this city's finer establishments.

They're drifting in here now looking for something to cheer to get this season really up and running.

Philippe Clement will be desperate for his side to shine here. This is a crucial tie given the demands of the draw and it's vital they start this campaign with a positive outcome.
