Rangers predicted XI v Standard Liege: Steven Gerrard starts Ianis Hagi

Rangers are almost home and hosed in the Europa League but a win over Standard Liege tonight will secure their place in the last 32 of the competition.

Steven Gerrard’s men would have confirmed the passage last week but Benfica’s comeback in the 2-2 draw means it isn’t mathematically certain just yet.

It’ll be interesting to see how Gerrard chooses to line his team up tonight with his 4-3-3 system likely to remain.

Ahead of the Ibrox clash, we looked at the team which could start tonight.

In goal and back four

The back five is likely to be unchanged from last week’s game against Benfica.

Filip Helander is out so Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun will continue at centre-back.

James Tavernier is proving to be Mr Reliable for the Gers and he will take his place at right-back.

Borna Barisic will start at left-back with Calvin Bassey likely to be on the bench.

Midfield three

It doesn’t seem as though there will be much change in midfield either.

Scott Arfield scored against Benfica and looks to be in decent form at the moment.

Steven Davis has also been in fine form so far this season and is looking undroppable right now.

Alongside those two will be Finland international Kamara who did collect a caution in the last game against the Portuguese champions.

In attack

Alfredo Morelos has scored two goals and registered one assist in the Europa League this season.

He will spearhead the attack but there could be a change on one of the flanks.

Ryan Kent seems almost certain to start but Ianis Hagi could come in for a start in place of Kemar Roofe.

The striker has played a lot of football of late and utilising the freshness of the £23,000-a-week Hagi could be a useful thing to do for Gerrard.

Here is how the Rangers team might look this evening.
