After an impressive 3-1 first leg win over Fenerbahce in Istanbul last week, Barry Ferguson’s Rangers are on the cusp of making the quarter-finals of the Europa League as they welcome Jose Mourinho’s side to Ibrox this Thursday.
Two goals ahead in the tie, the Glasgow giants are daring to dream once again after last week’s astonishing performance saw them shock their Turkish counterparts thanks to a brace from Vaclav Cerny and a first-half strike from Cyriel Dessers.
While interim boss Ferguson insists that the tie is far from over, there is a bubbling of excitement building around Ibrox as Rangers look to edge closer to their second Europa League final in three years. Can they do it?
However the game goes, it is sure to be an intense night in Govan, as the Ibrox atmosphere gears up for another potentially famous European night against the Turkish outfit.
But who will be the 11 players tasked with getting Rangers to the final eight of the competition? Does fit again Dujon Sterling return to the side? Is Robin Propper fit enough after a blow to head in last week’s first leg? Will the formation remain the same?
The Scotsman has predicted how we think Rangers will line up, with plenty of talking points surrounding selection ahead of the game. Do you agree with our line up?

A natural left-footer that is capable of producing attacks from deep, the left-wing back role suits the Brazilian perfectly. | SNS Group
10. CAM: Vaclav Cerny
The right-winger played more centrally last week as Barry Ferguson switched up Rangers formation. He scored two excellent goals in the game, so there's no way he doesn't start the game. | SNS Group
11. CF: Cyriel Dessers
The Nigerian striker is one fire at the moment, scoring four goals in his last three games. One of Rangers' best performers against Jose Mourinho's side last week, there's no way he gets dropped. | SNS Group
