That said, it offers a special opportunity for Steven Gerrard to introduce some of his new and younger players to the European atmosphere at Ibrox.
Whilst Rangers will still surely field a strong side for this match, I think it’s fair to say there will be a decent bit of rotation going into this one.
With this Rangers squad still finding its feet and players still adjusting to life at Ibrox, it’s a great chance to give some of those on the edges of the side minutes.

The line-up for Sunday’s match with Marseille may also have given a little hint as to those who will be rested on Thursday and
The first leg tie was routinely seen off by goals from Ryan Jack, the impressive Sheyi Ojo got the second before a Borna Barisic free-kick and Alfredo Morelos header secured the points.
