Why are Rangers wearing an orange kit against Maribor and when did they last play in the colour?
Steven Gerrard's Gers take a 3-1 advantage into the second-leg showdown with the Slovenian champions
STEVEN GERRARD's Rangers continue their Europa League adventure in Slovenia.
The Gers lead 3-1 after the first-leg at Ibrox, and are hoping to set up a playoff against Russian side Ufa in the next round.
Why are Rangers playing in orange against Maribor?
YOU may have noticed that Rangers are not wearing their usual white change strip.
Due to a clash of colours present on both their home and away kits with Maribor, they've had to don their controversial orange third strip for this game.
The Slovenians wear purple at home and white away, so Uefa rules state that the visiting team must adjust accordingly.
When did they last play in the colour?
BACK in 2002, Rangers ditched the orange away strip at the end of the season after it was suggested that the colour was 'needlessly provacative'.
A spokesperson for the club said at the time: "The decision to drop the shirt was a commercial decision not based on politics. We change the shirt every season with new designs to try and make it new and fresh."
This season's third kit is the first time that the side have worn orange since.
It was first worn this season when Gerrard's side took on Bury in a pre-season friendly.
