Rangers return to European duty hoping for a better result against FCSB than the last one when Lyon came to town.
Philippe Clement has seen fans question his position, but the manager cut a determined figure in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
Buoyed by the return of Danilo and Ianis Hagi in the Rangers B team, which will improve his options in the long term, Clement has said that the impressive Zak Lovelace will be in the squad to face the Romanian outfit.
Rangers predicted team news vs FCSB
A change of attitude from the defeat to Kilmarnock is badly needed with Tom Lawrence keen to see an improvement from Rangers in what is a winnable tie.
FCSB owner Gigi Becali has named the FCSB starting XI, how accurate it is remains to be seen, however, this is your predicted Rangers team for the Ibrox clash.
Despite the defeat to Kilmarnock, and the nature of the goal conceded, Jack Butland had a relatively quiet afternoon.
In front of him, Robin Propper went off injured after trying to play on and John Souttar let himself down with the sort mistake that he looked to have ironed out of his game.
At left-back, Clement has one option that he has used in Europe before by moving Jefte further forward and playing Neraysho Kasanwirjo.
The Netherlands Under-21 international was a standout against Malmo and Rangers lack of options on the wing make it a sensible move.
At right-back, it would be a huge shock to see anyone other than James Tavernier.
Nedim Bajrami change to improve Rangers creativity
The midfield has lacked creativity recently and moving Jefte higher up frees up Nedim Bajrami to play in his more natural No.10 role.
Mohamed Diomande is a first-choice option for big games, even if his form hasn’t been great recently, which means that the biggest question is at No.6.
In a game where Rangers need to win, the more aggressive passing and technical ability of Nicolas Raskin should get him the nod over Conner Barron.
With Danilo still not 100% and Hamza Igmane lacking experience, Jefte will be joined by Cyriel Dessers and Vaclav Cerny in the attack.
The former is in desperate need of a goal with none in his last five appearances.
A win is essential, a good performance will lift the clouds, if only for a few days.
