Barry Ferguson names Rangers team for Bilbao second leg

Barry Ferguson has named his Rangers team to face Athletic Club in Europa League action this evening. 

The Ibrox side are in Bilbao ahead of their crucial quarter-final second leg. 

An admirable goalless draw at Ibrox last week means Rangers remain more than alive in the tie as they head to the Basque region.

Their clear priority remains Europe, with Ferguson naming a much-changed starting lineup at the weekend against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership

The likes of Findlay Curtis, Clinton Nsiala, Oscar Cortes and Rafael Fernandes all got the nod at Pittodrie. 

Ianis Hagi's late strike salvaged Rangers a point and prevented Celtic from winning the league for at least another few weeks.

From the enthralling 2-2 draw in the northeast on Sunday, caretaker boss Ferguson has made 10 alterations to his lineup for tonight's clash at San Mames. 

Rangers starting XI: Kelly, Yilmaz, Tavernier, Balogun, Souttar, Jefte, Raskin, Diomande, Hagi, Cerny, Dessers. 

Subs: Butland, McGuire, Barron, Bajrami, Nsiala, Igamane, Danilo, McCausland, Rice, Curtis, Hutton, McCallion.
