Predicted Rangers XI to face BSC Young Boys in the Europa League

Rangers missed a golden opportunity to grab their first piece of silverware in the ongoing campaign as the Gers slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat against arch-rivals Celtic in the final of the Betfred Cup on Sunday. 

Steven Gerrard’s side will now turn their focus to the UEFA Europa League where they play host to Swiss giants BSC Young Boys for their matchday 6 Group G encounter on Thursday night. 

All four teams in Group G head into matchday 6 with a realistic chance of progressing to the knockout rounds of the competition. 

Rangers are currently on top of the group and a draw would be enough to seal qualification for Gerrard’s side, although they can still progress in case of a defeat if Feyenoord beat Porto to ensure a favourable goal difference for the Ibrox giants.

Team News

Steven Gerrard doesn’t have too many injuries to contend with ahead of the Europa League clash against the Young Boys on Thursday night. 

Steven Davis was a notable absentee from the matchday squad against Celtic in the Betfred Cup final on Sunday due to a foot injury and the veteran’s availability for the fixture is going to be subject to a late fitness test. 

Filip Helander was forced off with a knock in the latter stages of the game on Sunday and his fitness ahead of the European fixture continues to be a nagging issue.

Predicted Rangers XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Allan McGregor (GK)

The veteran didn’t have too much to do in the narrow 1-0 defeat against Celtic and he has always been the undisputed first-choice between the sticks for the Gers.

James Tavernier (RB)

The captain led by example on Sunday in the Betfred Cup final but failed to steer his team to victory. However, he continues to be a key component of the playing eleven and is expected to be one of the first names on Gerrard’s teamsheet on Thursday.

Nikola Katic (CB)

The Croatian hasn’t been a regular fixture at the heart of the defence this term but he might get his chance to impress if Helander fails to recover from a knock.

Connor Goldson (CB)

He has looked a bit shaky by his usual standards in recent months but Gerrard is expected to continue with his preferred options at the back.

Borna Barisic (LB)

The Croatian has put in a number of top-drawer performances in the Europa League for Rangers this season and they will once again rely on the quality of his deliveries from the left.

Ryan Jack (CDM)

The former Aberdeen man has been in supreme touch for Rangers this season and came out with a lot of credit on Sunday despite the club’s 1-0 defeat to Celtic.

Glen Kamara (RCM)

The former Arsenal man has added a lot of steel and stability to Rangers’ midfield with a string of impressive displays and he is surely going to be amongst the starters on Thursday.

Joe Aribo (LCM)

The Nigerian international wasn’t at the top of his game against Celtic on Sunday but he might retain his spot in the playing eleven if Davis fails to recover in time.

Ryan Kent (LW)

The former Liverpool youth graduate endured a frustrating day in the Betfred Cup final but he continues to be a key attacking option for Gerrard.

Sheyi Ojo (RW)

The youngster remained an unused substitute on Sunday but he might get a start ahead of Scott Arfield in the Europa League clash if Gerrard opts to rotate his squad.

Rangers will need the Colombian talisman to return to his usual devastating self after a less-than-clinical display against Celtic in the previous outing.

Rangers vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Europa League Final Preview & Predicted Line-ups

Published

on

In what can be termed as the clash of the underdogs, Rangers take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the finals of the Europa League. Both teams, not favorites initially, have overcome many of the big teams to find themselves in Seville for the coveted clash.

Having finished second in the group behind Lyon, Rangers got through Braga and Leipzig on their way to the finals.

Frankfurt meanwhile had a much tougher run. Finishing group winners, they got through Real Betis, Barcelona and West Ham in an impressive run of results that culminated in a final.

With a trophy and direct Champions League football at stake, there is absolutely no doubt that both teams will want to be switched on as they look to win the coveted trophy.

Rangers Preview

Having lost the Scottish Premiership to eternal rivals Celtic, Rangers will want to prove a point and win a trophy by beating Frankfurt.

It will not be such an easy task however with Oliver Glasner’s side absolutely flying high. Rangers will have to be at their best to overcome the German side to the titl, with the latter aiming for their first European title since the UEFA Cup win in 1980.

Player to watch: James Tavernier

The Rangers captain has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists from right back this season and will be crucial to the success of the Scottish giants.

His attacking involvement, making driving runs down the right should help Rangers’ cause in the final. Lundstram and Ryan Kent are also players to keep a lookout for, with the former’s pace and flair capable of causing Frankfurt constant menace. 

Eintracht Frankfurt Preview

Unbeaten yet in the competition after playing 12 games, Frankfurt are undeniably the form team and firm favorites to win the final by beating Rangers, at least on paper. 

Three consecutive wins against Barcelona and West Ham is no mean feat for the German side and they will be looking to continue doing the same against the Scottish giants.

Player to watch: Filip Kostic

The Serbian is undoubtedly the beating heart of the Frankfurt team. With 3 goals and 5 assists in the Europa League this season, he will be pivotal to the German club’s chances against Rangers.

In Lindstrom and Daichi Kamada, Glasner has two players who could cause trouble on both the flanks and help dominate the Scottish giants.

The bookies are favouring Frankfurt in tonight’s final, with  pricing them as slight favourites at 11/8, whereas Rangers currently sit at 15/8.

If Frankfurt are to come out on top tonight, you would imagine their star man Filip Kostic will be heavily involved. The winger has 3 goals and an impressive 5 assists in year years competitions, which is the most from any player. If you fancy him to reach 6 assists for the tournament, Betway has boosted Kostic to assist 1+ goals from 19/10 to 5/2.

Predicted Lineups:

Rangers (4-2-3-1) Allan McGregor, James Tavernier, Calvin Bassey, Connor Goldson, Borna Barisic, Ryan Jack, John Lundstram, Joseph Aribo, Glen Kamara, Ryan Kent, Fashion Sakala

Frankfurt (3-4-3): Kevin Trapp, Almany Toure, Evan Ndicka, Tuta, Ansgar Knauff, Djibril Sow, Sebastian Rode, Filip Kostic, Daichi Kamada, Jesper Lindstrom, Rafael Santos Borre.
