At Ibrox, a fantastic evening of European football could guarantee a spot in the European knockout tournament.
Prior to Rangers’ penultimate Europa League Group C match, which could see the Ibrox team earn knockout continental football for the fourth time in five seasons, Philippe Clement has few options.
With Leon Balogun and Connor Goldson both out for the visit by Aris Limassol, the Belgian has seen the heart ripped out of his rearguard. In order for the Light Blues to secure a spot in the following round of the competition against the Cypriot team, it is highly likely that John Souttar and Ben Davies will be selected to play in the centre of defence.
Given that Ridvan Yilmaz isn’t in the UEFA squad, the back four almost unanimously chooses James Tavernier and Borna Barisic as the full backs. Todd Cantwell entered the game, so Ross McCausland, who had been benched against Aberdeen, could also celebrate his new contract by starting. However, the priorities are securing the position, exacting revenge for the crushing defeat in the rematch in Cyprus, and guaranteeing automatic promotion from the league.
