Rangers team news

Following a 45 minute cameo against St. Mirren over the weekend Aaron Ramsey is hoping to start his first Europa League game this season. Ramsey has scored six goals in 12 starts in the Europa League, all for Arsenal between 2018 and 2019. His last home start in the competition saw him net the opener against Napoli in the quarter-finals in 2018/19. Filip Helander, Nnamdi Ofoborh, Ianis Hagi and Alfredo Morelos are sidelined with injury. Morelos along with skipper James Tavernier is Rangers leading scorer in this season’s competition. Kemar Roofe should continue to lead the Gers forward line in Morelos’ absence.

Rangers predicted XI: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Bassey; Kamara, Jack; Ayodele-Aribo, Ramsey, Kent; Roofe.

SC Braga team news

There are no major new injury concerns for Braga heading into this week’s game. Nuno Sequeira, Jean-Baptiste Gorby and Roger Fernandes remain absent for the Portuguese side. Head coach Carlos Carvalhal is likely to make few changes from the lineup he fielded in the opening leg. Abel Ruiz, who netted the only goal against Rangers last time out, should lead the line at Vitinha’s expense. Ruiz came off the bench in Braga’s win over Vizela while Vitinha saw red. Vitinha is expected to start on the bench in Glasgow.

SC Braga predicted XI: Matheus; Fabiano, Carmo, Tormena; Couto, Musrati, A. Horta, Gomes; R. Horta, Medeiros; Ruiz.

Scoreline prediction: Rangers 2-1 SC Braga
