Rangers romped home to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Livingston at Ibrox on Sunday, thanks to goals from Jermain Defoe and Joe Aribo. That win saw Steven Gerrard’s side move six points clear of arch-rivals Celtic atop the Scottish Premiership standings.
The Gers are now set to turn their attention to the Europa League as they play host to Lech Poznan on Thursday night. Rangers started their European campaign on a positive note with a 2-0 win away at Standard Liege on Matchday 1 and they will be looking to continue their 7-game winning run in all competitions.
Rangers have won each of their last three games against Polish opposition in major European competitions, and they will be the outright favourites to come away with all three points from their Matchday 2 Group D fixture.
Steven Gerrard doesn’t have any major injury issues to contend with heading into the midweek European clash. Nikola Katic (cruciate ligament) remains sidelined with a long-term injury, but the manager is expected to have a fully fit squad at his disposal other than that.
The veteran made some good saves to register yet another clean sheet in the 2-0 win against Livingston. Remains an undisputed starter between the sticks for Rangers.
The skipper has registered a goal contribution in each of his last seven games across all competitions. Will be expected to continue his excellent form on Thursday.
The former Brighton man is an indispensable component of Rangers’ backline. Should be amongst the starters in this Europa League clash.
Helander started in the win against Livingston but the Nigerian could return to the starting XI if Gerrard opts to rotate his squad.
The Croatian international has been in excellent form and he should be raring to go after being rested for the win against Livingston.
He put in a tidy shift in the last game and should retain his place in the starting XI for this Europa League game on Thursday.
The Canadian only featured as a substitute against Livingston but should start in the midweek clash after impressing in the Matchday 1 victory over Standard Liege.
The Finnish international has evolved into a key player for Gerrard’s side over the past 18 months. Will be expected to start against Lech Poznan.
The Romanian playmaker chipped in with an assist in the 2-0 win over Livingston. Will definitely be a player to watch out for in the Europa League game.
The former Liverpool starlet has been in blistering form this season. He once again holds the key to Rangers’ hopes of coming away with all three points.
The Colombian is yet to set the stage on fire this season but should replace Jermain Defoe on the teamsheet.
