Recent history will persuade Rangers FC to treat their first home game in this season's UEFA Champions League with caution. The visit of Sevilla FC will remind the Scottish titleholders that they have not defeated visitors from Spain for over 20 years. • If that statistic was not concerning enough, Sevilla are the early pacesetters in Group G as goals from Luis Fabiano and Renato earned a 2-0 home win against debutants FC Unirea Urziceni on Matchday 1. Rangers, however, can take heart after Madjid Bougherra's late equaliser earned a 1-1 draw at VfB Stuttgart. Previous meetings • The teams' only previous meeting – and the only time Sevilla have faced opponents from Scotland – came in the 1962/63 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round. Rangers won 4-0 at home and survived a second-leg scare in Spain, where Sevilla won 2-0. • Rangers have not won in four home matches against Spanish sides, drawing three and losing the other. Home and away they have not won in nine outings (five defeats and four draws) and have not scored in their last three games. • Rangers' last victory against Spanish opposition came in the 1985/86 UEFA Cup first round when they beat CA Osasuna 1-0 in Glasgow only to lose the away leg 2-0. Match background • Rangers lost their last UEFA Champions League home game 3-0 against Olympique Lyonnais, resigning them to third place in the 2007/08 group stage. They had started off with a 2-1 win at home to Stuttgart before a goalless draw against FC Barcelona. • That Lyon defeat was Rangers' only dent in a sequence of 20 home games in UEFA club competition, including qualifiers, which includes ten wins and nine draws. • Their previous UEFA Champions League campaign, in 2005/06, was their most successful to date as Rangers became the first Scottish side to reach the knockout stages. At home they beat FC Porto 3-2 and followed that with draws against FC Artmedia Petržalka (0-0) and FC Internazionale Milano (1-1). In the first knockout round they drew 1-1 at Villarreal CF but lost out on away goals having drawn 2-2 at home. • In their only previous UEFA Champions League campaign two years ago, Sevilla started with a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal FC but then recorded victories at FC Steaua Bucureşti (2-0) and SK Slavia Praha (3-0) to finish top of the group. • In the first knockout round they lost 3-2 at Fenerbahçe SK and with the game in Spain producing the same score, the Turkish club went through on penalties. Team ties • Former manager Jock Wallace, who in 1976 and 1978 guided Rangers to the treble of league title, Scottish FA Cup and League Cup, was Sevilla coach between 1986 and 1987. Manuel Jiménez was among his charges at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, and Wallace made him vice-captain. • Sevilla have fond memories of Glasgow having lifted the 2007 UEFA Cup at Hampden Park with victory on penalties against Liga rivals RCD Espanyol following a 2-2 draw after extra time. Sevilla's goals were scored by Adriano and Frédéric Kanouté, while Andrés Palop made three saves in the shoot-out.

• UEFA Champions League: Group stage milestones Holders FC Barcelona are looking to avoid becoming the first defending champions to fail to get through a group stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/00 and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage). In 1992/93, Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and were beaten 4-3 on aggregate in the second round by PFC CSKA Moskva. S.S. Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta became the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2007/08 when he featured against Olympiacos CFP on Matchday 1 at the age of 43 years and 168 days. The record was previously held by Alessandro Costacurta, the AC Milan defender who played against AEK Athens FC in the 2006/07 season at the age of 40 years and 211 days. Ballotta was aged 43 years 252 days when he featured against Real Madrid CF on Matchday 6. Laurent Blanc is the oldest player to score in the competition, aged 36 years and 339 days, having found the net for Manchester United FC in their 3-2 defeat of Olympiacos CFP on 23 October 2002. Celestine Babayaro is the youngest player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League. He was 16 years and 87 days when he started for RSC Anderlecht against FC Steaua Bucureşti on 23 November 1994. He was then sent off in the 37th minute. Barcelona, Manchester United and Milan have all finished as group winners on ten occasions, one more than Real Madrid and Juventus. Four teams have recorded six successive victories in a UEFA Champions League group stage: Milan (1992/93), Paris Saint-Germain FC (1994/95), FC Spartak Moskva (1995/96) and Barcelona (2002/03, first group stage). In 2006/07, PFC Levski Sofia joined 1. FC Košice in being the only team to have played in the UEFA Champions League and never picked up a point. The Slovakian side have not returned to the competition since losing all six games in their only campaign to date in 1997/98. Six other teams have gone through a single group stage campaign without picking up a point: FC Dynamo Kyiv (2007/08), SK Rapid Wien (2005/06) and RSC Anderlecht (2004/05) plus Spartak Moskva and Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2002/03, first and second group stage respectively) and Fenerbahçe SK (2001/02, first group stage). Manchester United scored 20 goals in the 1998/99 group stage, more than any other side has managed. Barcelona scored 19 times in the 1999/2000 first group stage. Dynamo conceded 19 goals in their six outings in 2007/08, equalling the record let in during a group stage set by Ferencvárosi TC in the 1995/96 campaign. No team has ever gone through a UEFA Champions League group stage without conceding a goal. Milan (1992/93), AFC Ajax (1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea FC (2005/06), Liverpool FC (2005/06) and Villarreal CF (2005/06) all let in just one. Before their 3-1 win against Sporting Clube de Portugal on Matchday 6 of the 2006/07 campaign, FC Spartak Moskva went 22 games without a victory in the competition, surpassing the unwanted record set by AEK Athens FC on Matchday 3 of the same campaign. The lowest total for a team qualifying from the group stage is seven points. The first to do it, since three points for a win was introduced in 1995/96, were Legia Warszawa that same season before Bayer Leverkusen managed it in 1999/2000 and Liverpool in 2001/02. FC Lokomotiv Moskva and eventual finalists Juventus both progressed with seven points in 2002/03, a feat achieved by Rangers FC and Werder Bremen in 2005/06.
