It’s the first European match in charge for the Gers head coach and he names two changes from the weekend’s game against Motherwell.
John Souttar and Connor Barron return to the starting line-up having both recovered from injury, with Ianis Hagi and Hamza Igamane on the bench.
That means Rangers line-up with Jack Butland in goal behind James Tavernier, Robin Propper, John Souttar and Jefte.
Barron makes his first start since Old Trafford in January and is joined in midfield by Nico Raskin and Mohamed Diomande. Cyriel Dessers will lead the attack this evening, with Vaclav Cerny and Ridvan completing the XI.
On the bench are Liam Kelly, Tom Lawrence, Nedim Bajrami, Clinton Nsiala, Dujon Sterling, Leon Balogun, Hamza Igamane, Ianis Hagi, Ross McCausland, Bailey Rice, Findlay Curtis and Danilo.
