Predicted Rangers Lineup For The Europa League Qualifier

Rangers are making an extremely early start to their season with Europa League action kicking off at Ibrox this week against Progres Niedercorn of Luxembourg.

Pedro Caixinha has had his new recruits training at Ibrox in order to get them used to the pitch and the stadium, which will be full come Thursday night. Around 50,000 fans will watch the first leg of this qualifier, and here is how they may line-up.

Probable Rangers XI

Manager: Pedro Caixinha

Formation: 4-2-3-1

GK – Wes Foderingham

Last season’s no.1 should start the European campaign between the sticks. He has been reliable and there is no necessity to replace him as such.

RB – James Tavernier

Caixinha has intimated publicly that Tavernier will be a part of the team going forward. He is naturally fit and should be alright to start the season.

CB – Fabio Cardoso

The 23-year-old is a real improver and has been signed from Vitoria Setubal. Playing alongside his countryman may be the way how Rangers may start, though David Bates is another live option for this game.

CB – Bruno Alves

The 35-year-old brings huge experience to the Rangers back line and is likely to be given an early intro at Ibrox.

LB – Myles Beerman

I’m not sure how fit Lee Wallace is, but Beerman did well at the back towards the end of last season and could step in comfortably.

Ryan Jack

CM – Ryan Jack

The new man from Aberdeen was hugely popular at Pittodrie and will be equally so at Ibrox. Looking to push into the Scotland squad over the next year, Jack will be Rangers’ linchpin this term and can start off in good style.

CM – Dalcio

Another Benfica student, Dalcio’s composure on the ball will be a real change for Rangers fans and will be a joy to watch in this competition.

RW – Daniel Candeias

Having learned his trade at Benfica too, Candeias arrives with the sort of pedigree not seen at Rangers for years. He is a welcome addition to their squad and is sure to start.

CAM – Kenny Miller

Enjoying a slightly more withdrawn role these days, Miller still keeps coming up with the goods and will be a vital part of the squad once again next season, including the European campaign.

LW – Barrie McKay

More signings are sure to follow and I would not be surprised if one is brought in for this position, but as of now, I can see Caixinha giving McKay another chance out on the left, against the team from Luxembourg.

ST – Eduardo Herrera

Another new signing from Pumas in Mexico, he should be given the chance to lead the line against the minnows.
