Rangers vs Dynamo Kyiv will be broadcast live on television next week.
BBC Scotland has bought the rights to showcase the third-round qualifying match of the Champions League.
The broadcaster will show the match on their BBC Scotland channel, and on BBC iPlayer, on Tuesday, August 13. There will also be full commentary on BBC Radio Scotland.
Philippe Clement and his team are in Lublin, Poland for the first leg of the tie tonight. This match will be broadcast live on Premier Sports 1.
The return game next week will be played at Hampden park due to ongoing construction works being carried out at Ibrox.
Sportscene will have full live coverage of the game, with the match kicking off at 7.45 pm.
Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning, BBC Scotland, said: "The European qualifying matches during the summer proved to be big draws for our audiences last year and we’re delighted that we’ve again been able to secure live rights for several games already this season.
"There’ll be significant audience interest in our live coverage of Rangers taking on Dynamo Kyiv in the second leg as they aim for a place in the Champions League play-off stage."

The agreement to show the Rangers v Dynamo Kyiv match live is the latest television rights deal for European qualifiers involving Scottish Premiership sides secured by the broadcaster so far this summer.
BBC Scotland screened live coverage from Rugby Park of the first leg, 2nd Round Qualifying of the Europa League, between Kilmarnock and Cercle Brugge, and St Mirren’s match against Valur in the home leg of the UEFA Conference League qualifying second round.
Meanwhile, two VAR officials have allegedly been arrested in Poland ahead of helping referee the match between Dynamo Kyiv and Rangers.
According to reports in Poland, Bartosz Frankowski and Tomasz Musial were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning after allegedly stealing a road sign in Lublin.
