Rangers Steven Gerrard has a dilemma this Thursday over who to pick at left-back.

Glasgow Rangers might wish they had held onto Declan John a little longer.

Suddenly Rangers have gone from having three left-backs to having none available on Thursday evening against Maribor.

Declan John has been sold, while Jon Flanagan is suspended after picking up three yellow cards.

New signing Borna Barisic is ineligible for the remainder of the qualifying rounds.

This leaves Rangers with a bit of a dilemma, as they are likely to have to play a midfielder out of position.

One option is Andy Halliday, the much derided midfielder who Steven Gerrard praised as being capable of fulfilling any role he asked, The Scottish Sun reported.

Further alternatives are playing Ryan Kent in a deeper role, or bringing Lee Hodson into the fold.

None are ideal, but Halliday is probably the most likely of the trio as it stands.
