Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers will be taking the Swede tomorrow.
Rangers have changed their mind on a decision to name Filip Helander in their Europa League squad, according to Football Scotland.
The Sweden defender, a £3.5 million signing this summer [Football Scotland], was originally left out of the Gers’ plans for the playoff tie with Legia Warsaw, with the first leg in Poland tomorrow.
But according to Football Scotland, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has made a U-turn and Helander will be named in the squad.
The report adds that Brandon Barker, Gerrard’s newest recruit, will be left back in Scotland, but Andy King, signed from Leicester City this month, will also be on the plane tomorrow.
One man who Gerrard hasn’t changed his mind on is Greg Docherty.
The midfielder, like Helander, was omitted from the panel and that remains the case, but it’s glowing indictment of Gerrard’s squad.
Docherty is a brilliant midfielder and 10 goals on loan down South last season proves it, but there’s fierce competition for a spot in Rangers’ midfield and the Scot, on this occasion, has been left out.
