Rangers are preparing to face off against Braga in the Europa League and all attention has turned to how the Gers will line up a they bid to make a first Euro semi-final since 2008.
Rangers currently trail 1-0 from the first leg in Portugal but the tie is anything but over with the Ibrox crowd cheering the Gers on in Glasgow.
Alfredo Morelos is the most high-profile absentee for the match with the Colombian initially joining Ianis Hagi on the sidelines until the end of the season.
Filip Helander has picked up a foot injury but the big Swede would not be available anyway given the centre-back is not registered in the European squad.
Rangers predicted XI v Braga
In goal, we expect Rangers to stick with Allan McGregor, so often the hero on nights like this, with a back four in front of him.
James Tavernier and Connor Goldson are shoo-ins to start and we’re backing Leon Balogun and Borna Barisic to be involved alongside them.
Croatian full-back Borna is a man reborn and his qualities can so often be a difference-maker when on form.
In midfield, we’re backing Ryan Jack to start alongside John Lundstram – who we’re backing to pass a late fitness test – with Aaron Ramsey ahead of them.
Ryan Kent is a nailed-on starter on the left-wing whilst we fancy Kemar Roofe to be given the nod as the main striker following a weekend hat-trick against St Mirren.
There is a big decision to make on the right but we fancy Rangers to stick with Joe Aribo and this is the XI that can topple Braga and earn a spot in the final four of the Europa League.
