Todd Cantwell will miss Rangers' Europa League showdown against Real Betis.

The Ibrox midfielder has not travelled to Spain with the squad due to personal circumstances.

Manager Philippe Clement confirmed the news in his pre-match press conference citing a "family matter" for Cantwell's absence.

The Rangers boss stated: "Todd is not here because of personal circumstances. And he wants to keep it personal. So we respect that.

"The positive thing to say about that is that it’s not something between him or the club, or me or him, it’s family-wise.

"It’s important that if players want to keep things private we are going to keep things private.

"Players are public figures for sure, but they have personal things in life that we need to respect also.

"There is a chance he could be available for Sunday, but it’s not guaranteed.”

Ryan Jack is also missing from the Ibrox squad for the fixture.

Clement added: "I hoped Ryan Jack would be back but it’s not the case. We will see on Sunday. The rest, you know. Tom Lawrence, Nico Raskin and Danilo.

"It’s quite a list and quite a list of players who are not on the European list. That’s what we know, but it’s about the guys who are here. The guys who are here are here with ambition, they want to prove themselves and to prove themselves as a team also."

On the match against Betis, Clement added: "Real Betis is a different style than what we have faced.

"Real Madrid didn't win here which shows how big a test it is but I feel something special in the group.

"I can see a really good dynamic growing in the dressing room. Everyone stays confident even after going behind."
