Rangers v Benfica predicted XI: 26-year-old playmaker & 23-year-old winger return

The game is currently tied at 2-2 as the Gers enter the match at a packed Ibrox,

having proven they are more than capable of competing with the Portuguese.

Rangers, who last made it to the Europa League Final in Seville just two years ago, have also shown that they

are more than capable of doing so.

Philippe Clement’s thoughts with a probable starting lineup for the match.

Rangers’ back five has been looking more and more established lately, with Jack Butland—who is now waiting

on word regarding a call-up to England—as the true number one.

Without a doubt, the top names on the team sheet are James Tavernier and Connor Goldson, while John Souttar has established himself

as the vice captain of the Rangers’ preferred partner.

Ridvan Yilmaz has emerged as a left-back, with Borna Barisic seemingly on the verge of finalizing his

departure at the end of the campaign.

John Lundstram may currently be listed as the #1 outfield player in the middle of the park,

but the gifted Mohamed Diomande is not far behind him.

Todd Cantwell, a 26-year-old attacking midfielder, has also trained ahead of the game, and we are counting on him to start, with Tom

Lawrence ready to contribute from the bench.

Cyriel Dessers will likely continue to lead the line in the final third, although former Benfica youth player Fabio Silva has been making an

impression off the left in recent games.

We’re picking Rabbi Matondo, 23, to enter from the right side after he returned against the Hibs, casting serious doubt on his

participation due to injuries sustained by Ross McCausland and Dujon Sterling.
