Steven Davis is preparing for his bow in the dugout with Rangers.

The Northern Ireland midfielder was this week named interim manager following the dismissal of Michael Beale.

The 38-year-old will take first-team matters until further notice as James Bisgrove focuses on the recruitment of a permanent successor at Ibrox.

Alex Rae, Steven Smith, Brian Gilmour and Colin Stewart will support Davis as he looks to navigate this midweek Europa League tie and then a trip to Paisley to face St Mirren at the weekend.

An international break will follow, which comes at a good time for Rangers. But until then, two positive results are required for the club as they aim to get their season back on track. 

Here are all of the details you need to know ahead of this one...

Team news

Davis has yet to speak to the media to confirm any fresh injury news from the club. 

A whopping nine players are out of action currently, with some closer to the return than others.

Prior to Beale's sacking, the Englishman had stated that he hoped Tom Lawrence, Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin wouldn't be too far away from a comeback.

Rabbi Matondo was ruled out for six weeks and will be out until at least the start of November.
