Rangers vs PSV Champions League squads revealed with four notable absentees

Rangers' squad for their upcoming Champions League play-off clash against PSV Eindhoven has been revealed.

The Ibrox outfit will take on their Dutch opponents in a two-legged shootout for a spot in the group stages of Europe's elite competition.

Beale has now named his squad for next week's encounter and there are three notable absentees, as per the official Uefa website.

Defender Ben Davies, striker Kemar Roofe and midfielder Tom Lawrence are all missing.

There is also a noticeable absentee for PSV with former Rangers attacker Malik Tillman not included in their squad.

The American international spent last season on loan at Ibrox and Beale was keen to keep him this season too, but instead the Bayern Munich youngster opted for a loan move to PSV.

Looking ahead to the match, Beale said: "The level goes up now with PSV. We know how big that game was for both clubs last year. It's huge again this year.

"They are in good form but listen it is Rangers and Ibrox. Next week we will go hell for leather but before that we have a League Cup game that is very important also.

"They have an excellent coach, recruited well and spent big money again this summer. They are a good team. We know the atmosphere at both stadiums will be great. There is nothing not to love about this game.

"It's a straight knockout to get into the Champions League. It is what these players dream and hope for so lets have a right go. Let's not have any regrets after the two legs.

"Let's make sure it is a cauldron at Ibrox then we take that to Eindhoven."
