Rangers made three changes to their Europa League team ahead Benfica test

This serves as a reminder of the 22-man Rangers roster that was submitted for the Europa League knockout stage at the start of February.

And it all begins on Thursday night at the Estadio da Luz against Benfica as Rangers want to continue their incredible Europa League record and advance to the quarterfinals for the second time in two years.

According to UEFA regulations, Philippe Clement was able to make three changes to the starting lineup that Michael Beale selected, and that team went on to qualify from Group C.

Two more players were added to the knockout phase roster in January. Oscar Cortes, Danilo, and Kieran Dowell, for example, are completely left out.
