Rangers face Royal Antwerp in a Europa League Round of 32 second-leg clash at Ibrox on Thursday night.
The Gers take an advantage into the fixture having won the first leg 4-3 in Belgium, but the job is far from done.
Steven Gerrard has confirmed that he is without three key players – James Tavernier, Ryan Jack and Kemar Roofe – due to injury, while Nathan Patterson, Calvin Bassey and Bongani Zungu are all still out of contention after breaching Covid regulations.
The manager still has plenty of quality at his disposal, though, and will be eyeing a spot in the Last 16.
Allan McGregor is set to keep his place in goal, while Leon Balogun should continue to fill in at right-back, with Connor Goldson, Filip Helander and Borna Barisic completing the back four.
In midfield, we’re predicting that Finland and Canada internationals Glen Kamara and Scott Arfield will be brought back into the starting XI to slot in alongside Steven Davis, with the injured Jack dropping out and Joe Aribo moving further forward.
A shift forward for Aribo would likely lead to Ianis Hagi dropping to the bench, with Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos keeping their spots on the left and up top respectively.
Rangers Predicted XI vs Royal Antwerp (H) – 25/02/2021:
Should Rangers secure progression to the Last 16, they will land a substantial cash reward from UEFA.
