Rangers starting XI: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Barisic; Kamara, Jack, Arfield; Hagi, Kent, Morelos.

Rangers substitutes: McLaughlin, Bassey, Helander, Davis, Itten, Patterson, Aribo, Barker, Stewart, Roofe, Barjonas, King.

Rangers return to action this evening as they travel to Belgium to take on Standard Liege in their first Europa League group stage game of the season.

The Gers beat Celtic 2-0 on Saturday afternoon, and Steven Gerrard will be looking to use that win for some momentum in Europe this evening.

Gerrard has though made three changes to his side, but Allan McGregor starts in goal again, with Leon Balogun coming into the back four in place of Filip Helander, alongside James Tavernier, Connor Goldson and Borna Barisic.

Ryan Jack comes in for Steven Davis in midfield, meaning he joins Glen Kamara and Scott Arfield in the Rangers engine room.

The final change sees Ianis Hagi come back into the side in place of Brandon Barker, joining Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos in the final third.

Kemar Roofe returns to the bench tonight, alongside Jon McLaughlin, Calvin Bassey, Helander, Davis, Cedric Itten, Nathan Patterson, Joe Aribo, Barker, Greg Stewart, Jamie Barjonas and Leon King.
