Rangers bring down the curtain on their disappointing Europa League campaign with a trip to Portuguese giants Porto at the Estadio do Dragao on Thursday night (kick-off: 8pm).
Danny Rohl’s side picked up their first win of their Europa League campaign when they defeated Ludogorets 1-0 at Ibrox last week. However, having failed to win any of their opening six games in the competition, they head to Portugal for their final league-phase game already knowing they have been eliminated.
As for their hosts, Francesco Farioli’s side have already secured at least a playoff spot, but will be hoping they can achieve a top eight spot and automatic qualification to the last 16 with a win over Rangers on Thursday night. Currently in ninth, they trail Real Betis on goal difference and will hope to leapfrog on matchday eight of the competition.

8. Dujon Sterling - Rangers - DOUBT
Another struck down by a muscle issue, the versatile defender has missed the last couple of weeks with the problem, but is not said to be making good progress in his bid to return. May play in Portugal, but could also be rested with little riding on the game. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
