Barry Ferguson names Rangers team to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie

Barry Ferguson has named his Rangers team to face Aberdeen this afternoon. 

The Ibrox side travel to Pittodrie off the back of a gruelling 90 minutes in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final with Athletic Club on Thursday evening. 

Although they went down to 10 men early on, they rallied and came away with an admirable goalless draw, with Liam Kelly making a crucial second-half penalty save.

The second leg takes place on Thursday coming, although the sole focus, at least for today, is on Aberdeen. 

Ragers lost upon their last visit to the northeast, with Nicky Devlin and Shayden Morris on target for Jimmy Thelin's side in a 2-1 win. 

They then came to Ibrox in January, as Hamza Igamane, Leon Balogun, and Danilo netted at Ibrox in a 3-0 triumph for Rangers. 

Ferguson would likely accept a similar result to the latter this time around. 

From Thursday's first leg with Athletic, the caretaker boss has made NINE changes to his starting lineup. 

Confirmed Rangers starting XI: Kelly, Nsiala, Fernandes, Propper, Barron, Bajrami, Bajrami, Cortes, McCausland, Curtis, Igamane, Danilo. 

Subs: Butland, Tavernier, Souttar, Dessers, Diomande, Jefte, Hagi, Hutton, McCallion.
