Rangers squad revealed as John Souttar and Ben Davies to fill gaping defensive hole but battle on in attack

It's a huge night of European action at Ibrox where European knockout football could be secured.

Phillipe Clement, Ben Davies and John Souttar

Philippe Clement has limited options ahead of Rangers' penultimate Europa League Group C clash which could see the Ibrox side secure knockout continental football for the fourth time in five seasons.

The Belgian has seen the heart ripped out of his rearguard with Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun both suspended for the visit or Aris Limassol. That means John Souttar and Ben Davies will almost certainly be given the nod to play in the centre of defence as the Light Blues look to book their spot in the next round of the competition against the Cypriot side.


The back four pretty much picks itself with James Tavernier and Borna Barisic the full backs given Ridvan Yilmaz isn't in the UEFA squad. Ross McCausland could also celebrate his new contract with a start having been dropped to the bench against Aberdeen - with Todd Cantwell coming into the side. But it's about getting the job, avenging that humiliating loss in the reverse fixture in Cyprus and ensuring qualification from the group.
