Rangers take on Osijek in the Europa League at Ibrox this evening.

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

Rangers substitutes: Alnwick, Halliday, Arfield, Windass, Middleton, Murphy, Sadiq.

Rangers play the second leg of their Europa League qualifying tie with Osijek this evening, as they look to finish off the job having won the first leg of the game 1-0 in Croatia last week.

Alfredo Morelos bagged the winning goal with a fine header, and Rangers then thrashed Wigan Athletic 3-0 in a pre-season friendly on Sunday afternoon before heading into tonight’s game.

Steven Gerrard has named a full-strength side for tonight’s game, with Allan McGregor in goal, and the now regular back four of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Nikola Katic and Jon Flanagan in front of him.

New signing Lassana Coulibaly starts in midfield again, alongside Ryan Jack and Liverpool loanee Ovie Ejaria, with Ross McCrorie out of the squad entirely for tonight’s game.

Daniel Candeias returns to the side on the right of midfield, with another Liverpool loanee on the left in Ryan Kent, with Morelos again called upon to lead the Rangers attack tonight.

Jamie Murphy has been dropped to the bench, alongside Jak Alnwick, Andy Halliday, Scott Arfield, Josh Windass, Glenn Middleton and Umar Sadiq, with the latter still waiting for a first start after an impressive cameo against Wigan on Sunday.
