Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers are in Europa League action at Ibrox this evening, and former Gers star Alex Rae thinks that Liverpool-owned Ovie Ejaria will start.

Rangers will take on Spartak Moscow at Ibrox in the Europa League Group G on Thursday evening.
Former Rangers midfielder Rae has suggested that Ejaria, who joined the Gers on loan from Premier League club Liverpool in the summer transfer window, will start for Gerrard’s team against Spartak at Ibrox.
Rae told The Scottish Sun: “I think Ovie Ejaria will be a stick-on to start after the way he and Ryan Kent played in the second half against Rapid.”
Progressing at Rangers
Ejaria, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Sunderland from Liverpool, has been playing well for Rangers so far this season.
The 20-year-old midfielder has scored one goal in eight Scottish Premiership appearances for Rangers so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
The England Under-21 international has established himself as an important player in Rangers midfield, and one should not be surprised if manager Gerrard does include the 20-year-old – who earns £104,000 per year as salary, according to Spotrac.com – in his starting lineup.
