Rangers team news
The home side will be without Dujon Sterling (foot), John Souttar (unspecified), and Neraysho Kasanwirjo (knee), as all three continue their recovery from injury setbacks. Meanwhile, the availability of Connor Barron, Vaclav Cerny, and Leon Balogun remains uncertain after the trio missed the recent triumph over Dundee United due to knocks sustained in the clash against Manchester United.
Having started together in the attack against Dundee United, Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers could once again spearhead the frontline, with Ridvan Yilmaz and Nedim Bajrami providing width in Philippe Clement’s attacking setup.
Union St. Gilloise team news
The visitors also have their fair share of absentees, as Alessio Castro-Montes, Henok Teklab, and Sofiane Boufal are all sidelined through injury. Adding to their headaches, Christian Burgess and Koki Machida are both suspended after being sent off in last week's hard-fought 2-1 victory over Braga.
One player who continues to shine for Union SG is Franjo Ivanovic, who has been a revelation in his debut season. The forward has bagged 13 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions, including four in seven Europa League outings, and will once again be the focal point of the visitors' attack.
