Predicted Rangers XI vs Benfica and team news as two big calls made
Rangers go into tonight’s Europa League clash with Benfica believing they can pull off a result.
That’s down to two things. One being Philippe Clement’s management and the mentality he’s instilled since taking over last October and the other being their record in this competition in recent years. The Light Blues lost to Motherwell on Saturday but that was just their second defeat under the Belgian’s management and they’ll be out to prove it was just another blip.
There are some injury concerns with Abdallah Sima and Oscar Cortes out long-term leaving them short in the wide areas and Ross McCausland then picked up a knock on Saturday, but he did train today. Taking all that into account, Football Scotland has had a stab at predicting the Gers XI.
