Rangers vs Tottenham Europa League team news announced

Philippe Clement and Ange Postecoglou have named their teams as Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur lock horns at Ibrox. 

The Europa League clash comes just three days before Rangers' crunch Scottish League Cup final against Celtic. However, Clement has opted to pick a strong line-up for this one. 

Jack Butland starts in goals, with captain James Tavernier, John Souttar, Robin Propper, and Ridvan Yilmaz making up the defence.

In midfield, Nicolas Raskin partners Mohamed Diomande and Nedim Bajrami. 

Up front, Hamza Igamane is supported by Vaclav Cerny and Jefte.

Oscar Cortes has regained fitness for the first time since September and is included on the substitutes' bench.

Both Danilo and Ianis Hagi are enforced absentees as they aren't included in Rangers' current European squad.
