Rangers return to Europa League action this evening as they welcome Romanian champions FCSB to Ibrox.

Philippe Clement's men have three points from their opening two matches in the competition and will be hoping to bounce back following the 4-1 reverse to Lyon a fortnight ago.

FCSB meanwhile boast two wins from two and will be looking to compound the misery on Clement.

Our writers select their starting XIs ahead of the clash.

Philippe Clement did not provide an update on the status of Robin Propper during his pre-match press conference on Wednesday. If the Dutchman misses out, Leon Balogun is the obvious candidate to replace him. Even if Propper is fit, many fans would back the Nigerian to come into the side after he made a long-awaited return at Rugby Park.

Clement is not likely to rip up his blueprint. A midfield tweak that removes the No.10 role would benefit Rangers, however, and Tom Lawrence pays the price in that scenario. A three of Nicolas Raskin, Mohamed Diomande and Connor Barron has a mix of talents and traits and could alleviate some of the issues in the central areas.

Ahead of them, Clement is short of options. Vaclav Cerny and Nedim Bajrami are the obvious candidates for the wider berths but the Albanian, in particular, could tuck in given that Jefte is a powerful runner from left-back. At No.9, it will be Cyriel Dessers who gets the nod. To say he needs a goal is an understatement.

Rangers need a result to lift the mood following Sunday's dreadful display against Kilmarnock. With that in mind, Philippe Clement surely has to change his formation which is too easy to defend against.

There has been calls for the manager to play two up front and it's a fair comment given Cyriel Dessers is unable to lead the line on his own. Hamza Igamane partnering the Nigerian international may be the answer with the Moroccan able to link the play better than Dessers.

In defence, Leon Balogun should return for the unconvincing Robin Propper and a back three would provide Rangers with some stability against a pacey FCSB side. Neraysho Kasanwirjo deserves a start and his presence would provide cover for James Tavernier on the right.

Nedim Bajrami hasn't been deployed in the No.10 role as much as he would've hoped since arriving on deadline day. Tonight should be the chance for the Albanian to show what he can do in his favoured position with Connor Barron and Mohamed Diomande sitting behind him.
