Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has named his team for tonight’s clash with Russian side FC Ufa at Ibrox as his side look to take a big step towards the UEFA Europa League group stage.
The club announced tonight’s team on Twitter as:

The squad has been blighted by a number of injuries over the last few weeks but the manager has still managed to name a strong eleven that will hopefully rise to the occasion in front of what will be a loud and buoyant Ibrox crowd.
Tonight’s team is boosted by the return of Ryan Jack, who sat out the match against Kilmarnock, with Daniel Candeias also starting after the serious injury suffered by Jamie Murphy.
Kyle Lafferty also has the chance of making an appearance after signing from Hearts this week, being named on the bench.
Most Rangers supporters are delighted by these selection decisions, taking to Twitter to share their thoughts on it all…
Wallace and Lafferty on the bench ????????????
