Predicted Rangers starting XI v Lyon in Europa League clash
Rangers travel to France on Thursday to take on Lyon in their final group stage match of the Europa League.
The Bears look set to be without their travelling faithful too after French authorities banned fans coming across from Scotland, something that looks set to be appealed [FSE].
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has already secured passage into the knockout stages and will look to continue his perfect record.
Allan McGregor will keep his spot in goal with this pointless rotation with Jon McLaughlin thrown out of the window.
James Tavernier and Borna Barisic will continue at either side of the defence as they get used to this new style of more solidarity.
That will lead to Connor Goldson and Calvin Bassey to continue their blossoming partnership in defence and hunt for more clean sheets.
Steven Davis will return to the team after being rested against Dundee, with his experience surely set to be key against this potent Lyon side.
Glen Kamara and Joe Aribo will keep their spots in midfield, with those two simply undroppable at this moment in time under Van Bronckhorst.
There will be two changes in the final third to finish things off.
Ianis Hagi will keep his spot, but Alfredo Morelos and Fashion Sakala will both be dropped, with the duo one yellow card away from a European suspension.
Ryan Kent was also rested over the weekend, and he will start alongside Kemar Roofe, who will also look to stake his claim in France.
Here’s how we expect the Bears to lineup on Thursday…
