How both teams go into Fenerbahce vs Rangers
Rangers have had a strange season, with mixed fortunes domestically and in Europe. The Glasgow club currently sit 13 points behind league leaders Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, with a defeat to St Mirren proving to be the final straw. Clement has been sacked, with the club now looking for their fourth manager in four years. The new man will have to get bedded in quickly, with Mourinho an upcoming opponent. In the Europa League, Rangers did just enough to secure direct passage to the last 16, finishing eighth — ahead of ninth-placed Bodo/Glimt on goal difference. So they were able to watch on as their opponents battled through the knockout phase play-offs.
Fenerbahce are the lowest-ranked team left in the Europa League, by group stage finish. The Turkish side finished 24th and only scraped into the knockout phase play-offs on goal difference. They won two of their eight group games, losing two and drawing the other four. They weren’t a fun side to watch. But the goals started to come in the knockout phase play-offs, as Fenerbahce knocked out Anderlecht who had finished 10th in the group.
Fenerbahce team news
Caglar Soyuncu and Diego Carlos are out for Fenerbahce due to injury. Fred and Bright Osayi-Samuel are both suspended for yellow card accumulation, both receiving their fifth cautions last time out (the second threshold for suspension).
Rangers team news
Neraysho Kasanwirjo remains out for Rangers, having not featured since November due to injury. Oscar Cortes is back in training, while John Souttar could be back from injury. Leon Balogun, Dujon Sterling and Connor Barron will continue to be monitored and could be in line to feature.
