Rangers take on Rapid Vienna at Ibrox this evening.

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

Rangers substitutes: Foderingham, Katic, Halliday, Barisic, Grezda, Middleton, Lafferty.

Rangers are back in Europa League action this evening as they host Austrian outfit Rapid Vienna at Ibrox as they look to bounce back from Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Livingston.

The Gers drew 2-2 at Villarreal in their last Europa League game, and will now be looking to build on that with a home win this evening to really boost their chances of getting out of the group stage.

Unsurprisingly, Allan McGregor keeps his place in goal, with James Tavernier at right back and Connor Goldson one of the centre halves, with all three virtually mainstays under Steven Gerrard.

Joe Worrall keeps his place ahead of Nikola Katic despite a shaky display against Livingston, whilst left back Borna Barisic has been dropped to the bench in favour of Jon Flanagan.

Lassana Coulibaly, Scott Arfield and Ovie Ejaria all start in midfield, and not only does Graham Dorrans not start, he isn’t even in the squad for Rangers this evening.

Daniel Candeias will play on the right flank with Ryan Kent on the left, and Alfredo Morelos leading the line despite Kyle Lafferty scoring against Villarreal in their last Europa League game.

Barisic, Katic and Lafferty are all named on the bench, alongside Wes Foderingham, Andy Halliday, Eros Grezda and Glenn Middleton.
