Liverpool vs Rangers live stream and match preview
Looking for a Liverpool vs Rangers live stream? We've got you covered.
Liverpool will be aiming to put their domestic woes behind them when winless Rangers visit Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have had a stuttering start to the season, picking up 10 points in seven Premier League games.
Their most recent setback was a 3-3 draw at home to Brighton on Saturday, while in Europe their campaign opened with a 4-1 drubbing away to Napoli.
The Reds responded to the latter setback by beating Ajax, leaving them level with the Dutch club on three points, three behind group leaders Napoli, going into game week three.
Rangers are yet to pick up a point on their return to the Champions League group stage, having suffered heavy defeats to both Ajax and Napoli.
The Gers ended a poor period of form by clocking up back-to-back Scottish Premiership wins ahead of their trip to Merseyside, beating Dundee United before thrashing Hearts 4-0 at Tynecastle on Saturday.
Those results ended a galling run of three consecutive heavy defeats; the two in Europe and a 4-0 reverse to rivals Celtic.
For Liverpool, Andy Robertson misses out with injury, while Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are also out.
Ibrahima Konate has returned to training, but the clash with Rangers could come too soon for the centre-back.
Rangers defender James Sands is suspended after his red card against Napoli.
Their injury list includes John Souttar, Tom Lawrence, Filip Helander, Jon McLaughlin and Ianis Hagi, but Kemar Roofe has returned to training.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
