Team News: Clement Names Team To Face Benfica

PHILIPPE CLEMENT has named his Rangers team for this evening’s UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie against Benfica.

The Light Blues take to the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon for the first-leg as the knockout rounds of the competition continue.

From the weekend’s Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell there are two changes to the starting line-up as Tom Lawrence and Fabio Silva come in with Nico Raskin and Ross McCausland on the bench.

That means Rangers start with Butland in goal and a back four of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, John Souttar and Ridvan.
