The Ibrox team needs to win in Cyprus for their second group match after last weekend’s poor outcome.
With Steven Davis in charge of his first game against Aris Limassol, the Rangers are back in action for the first time since Michael Beale was fired.
While Nico Raskin and Kemar Roofe traveled to Cyprus to rejoin the Rangers squad following injuries, it’s likely that neither of them will start the game. However, Ryan Jack hasn’t been cleared to go, so they’re still missing people like Todd Cantwell, Tom Lawrence, and Kieran Dowell, among others. Danilo also resumed training this week, but his comeback after breaking his cheekbone comes too soon for him, leaving Davis with little alternatives to make things different.
Given the number of injuries they are dealing with, Zak Lovelace, who came off the bench in the loss to Aberdeen, isn’t on the Europa League roster, leaving him with a very limited number of attacking options.
But in this position, they might line up.
As the AZ manager is questioned about connections to Ibrox, Pascal Jansen makes a decision on the Rangers job.

He is the Rangers’ top player, and Davis taking Beale’s place won’t alter that. Despite the fact that it’s not really saying much, the club’s player of the year thus far.
Although he has his detractors, Rangers can always count on him. He is a logical choice for right back and will keep playing his regular position.
His toughness and ability to lead on the field must be praised. a quality defender who will contribute significantly both under Davis and the incoming permanent boss.
There is an option between Davies and John Souttar, but because Souttar is left-handed, it is simpler to choose the former Liverpool player. He assists with the back build-up and provides more balance than Souttar, who is unfortunate to lose out.
Barisic will start again because Ridvan Yilmaz won’t be playing in the Europa League, and he is still the team’s top left back.
