Rangers are back in Europa League action this evening.

Rangers starting line-up: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Flanagan; Coulibaly, Jack; Kent, Ejaria, Windass; Morelos.

Rangers substitutes: Alnwick, Halliday, McCrorie, Docherty, Middleton, Candeias, Windass.

Rangers are in Europa League action once again tonight as they travel to take on Croatian side Osijek in their latest qualifying clash under Steven Gerrard.

The Gers unconvincingly beat Macedonian side FK Shkupi in the last round with a 2-0 aggregate win, and Gerrard was left considered with the toothless nature of his Rangers attack.

Today, Gerrard has rung the changes to his Rangers side, but Allan McGregor keeps his place in goal, whilst James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Nikola Katic and Jon Flanagan form what is becoming a familiar back four.

Ross McCrorie drops out of the side as new signing Lassana Coulibaly and Ryan Jack start in holding midfield, with Daniel Candeias also dropped and Scott Arfield unavailable through injury.

New addition Ryan Kent starts on the right wing having signed from Liverpool on Sunday, whilst fellow Reds loanee Ovie Ejaria will join him and Jamie Murphy in forming what appears to be an attacking midfield trident.

Alfredo Morelos leads the line for Rangers, with Josh Windass left out and Umar Sadiq left in Glasgow as the Nigerian front man attempts to build up his fitness.

Jak Alnwick, Andy Halliday, Greg Docherty and Glenn Middleton are all on the bench, alongside the dropped McCrorie, Candeias and Windass.
