Rangers squad revealed as Champions League ace remains up Gio's sleeve despite 10 players out

It's going to be another tough night for Rangers in the Champions League as they hope to secure an unlikely victory with their squad plagued by injury.

The Light Blues are looking to avoid the unwanted title of the competitions worst ever group stage side - but they know at the same time they can still qualify for the Europa League playoffs if they produce an incredible night under the lights at Ibrox. To do that Rangers will need to beat Dutch giants Ajax by five goals or more and, despite how unlikely that eventuality may be, Giovanni van Bronckhorst will need his strongest players available if he is to stand any chance. And with an injury crisis at the heart of defence currently, the Dutchman knows that the odds are stacked massively against them.

Ben Davies, Ridvan Yilmaz and John Lundstram are out for the visit of Alfred Schreuder's side, plunging any hopes of a sensational scalping further into doubt. Lundstram has been one of Rangers' biggest stars in European competitions the last year, but he picked up a fourth yellow card in just six Champions League games in Naples, and thus misses out due to suspension.
