Rangers will be hoping to continue their recent trend of rediscovering form in the Europa League with a short trip to France to face Nice.
Philippe Clement is walking a tightrope in terms of the safety of his job as manager but stands on the verge of breaking a club record for being unbeaten away from home in Europe.
After a shocking first half against Dundee Utd, Rangers fans won’t be happy if the same players are given another chance, this is how the Gers boss should set up his team.
Rangers predicted XI vs Nice – big decisions for Philippe Clement
The two players who had most impact in the second half – Danilo and Ianis Hagi – earned praise from Clement, however, they aren’t in the Europa League squad.
As a result, this is how Rangers should line up.
The paradox that is Rangers defence continues to frustrate, by in large, they keep opposition teams away from Jack Butland, but the goal conceded at Ibrox on Saturday is symptomatic of a season blighted by losing stupid goals.
Against better opposition, an immediate solution is to move Jefte up a line and switch either Dujon Sterling or Ridvan Yilmaz to left-back, even though he is only just back from injury.
The reason for making this change is so that Nedim Bajrami can move to No.10 and his more natural attacking midfield role.
Jefte would also give more pace on the counterattack.
Mohamed Diomande is struggling for Rangers just now and only a tactical shift should see him included.
The biggest problem for Clement to fix
Perhaps the biggest problem in Rangers current play is Cyriel Dessers.
With no Danilo, Clement has the opportunity to send a real message to the experienced striker that his current level of performance isn’t good enough by starting Hamza Igamane.
The young Morrocan, 22, still has a lot to learn, but he has still offered more than Dessers recently – despite the latter having three goals in four games.
Here is how Rangers should line up to face Nice:
