All three have been impressing fans with their performances so far in 2018/19 and Jack and Coulibaly have stood out for their own reasons in recent matches.
Going into the tie, with Maribor hosting us for the second leg of the affair, Rangers already have a 3-1 advantage from the game at Ibrox and we won’t be looking to rest on our laurels, Gerrard will want the side to continue to show further improvement and kill the match off early.
Rangers fans would no doubt be delighted if we did that given European results elsewhere this week!
Many will be content with simply showing further improvement in the team performance and keeping Gerrard’s unbeaten run going because we are only three games away from the Europa League Group Stages now.
Reacting to the news of their potential availability, fans were happy.
Just shows how far we have come that without Arfield & Jack we had decent replacements on Sunday.

Confidence ahead of the game is high and we better know what to expect from the side for this 90 minutes so onwards and upwards hopefully.
