Rangers Europa League final squad revealed as Aaron Ramsey one of three Gio dilemmas

To play or not to play? To start or come off the bench?

Giovanni van Bronckhorst faces a big decision over Kemar Roofe ahead of the Europa League Final after declaring the striker fit for the Seville showpiece.

It’s one thing being fit but, realistically, can the Jamaica international be thrown in from the very start in such a huge game having not featured for a month?

Joe Aribo has operated so well in that false nine position and even Amad Diallo might have made a late run to come in for contention.

Aaron Ramsey is another whose season looked to be over when he was injured in the same game as Roofe, that Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic.

There has always been a question mark over his fitness but the Welshman has played recently and his big game experience could be invaluable, although Scott Wright has done his

And the final decision for van Bronckhorst could be at the back with Calvin Bassey nailed on to start and it’s just a question of whether Leon Balogun or Borna Barisic join him.
