Lambrechts has not taken charge of a match involving the Rangers first-team in his career. He did, however, referee a match between Rangers under-19s and Young Boys in the UEFA Youth League with the match finishing 2-2.

The official took charge of a friendly between the Netherlands and Scotland back in March 2024 with the hosts running out 4-0 winners.
