This week, the third stage of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers will start, and a team of referees from Lithuania will work in one of the matches.

On Wednesday, the cult "Ibrox" stadium in Glasgow will host a match where the local club "Rangers" will take the field, having defeated Switzerland's representatives "Servette," and Lithuanian referees will officiate in this match.

The main referee of the match will be Donatas Rumšas, assisted by Dovydas Sužiedėlis and Aleksandras Radiušas, with Manfredas Lukjančukas as the reserve referee. The match will start at 21:45 Lithuanian time.

The "Rangers" club starts their tournament performance precisely from this qualifying stage, while the "Servette" players started from the second qualifying stage and after a tough battle in a series of two matches eliminated "Genk" from Belgium.

The winners of this pair will meet in the final "play-off" stage with the winners of the pair between PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands) and "Sturm Graz" (Austria).
