Recently, the starting lineup for the Europa League match between Olympiacos and Rangers was predicted due to a Clement update.
Olympiacos and Rangers will go head-to-head in Athens on Thursday evening in the

Glasgow following some recent poor performances.

European competition fixtures this season with victories over
Braga and Malmo, while they come into this game after a 2-1 win over Panserraikos
in their domestic league over the weekend to sit three points off the top with a game in hand.
Rangers on the other hand have also won two of their three games, defeating Malmo and
FCSB but also losing to Lyon, while they reached the Scottish League Cup final with a
2-1 win over Motherwell in their last game.

and knows he needs a win to stop the vulture circling for his job. This is how
GIVEMESPORT expect both teams to lineup for the big game.
