Rangers welcome French club Lyon to Glasgow on Thursday night for their second match in the Europa League.

Philippe Clément’s men saw off Swedish outfit Malmö last week thanks to goals from Nedim Bajrami and Ross McCausland. 

The French team currently sit in 11^th place after an indifferent start to their campaign in Ligue 1, with only two wins out of six.

Rangers are behind both Celtic and Aberdeen, who both have 100% records in the Scottish Premiership standings.

Rangers will be confident going into this one on the back of a one-nil victory over Hibs at home at the weekend although it was a hard-fought win, with Jack Butland forced into a penalty save in first half stoppage time. 

Belgian boss Clement will speak to the media on Wednesday and give an update on the latest casualty list ahead of the big night under the lights at Ibrox Stadium.

However, Ivory Coast midfielder Mohamed Diomande missed the weekend win and looks to be a doubt once again.

Óscar Cortés is a longer-term absentee and will not feature in the match, with Rıdvan Yilmaz due back from a thigh injury any day now. Danilo, who has seen very little action yet in his Rangers career, will also be absent, as well as Welsh winger Rabbi Matondo

Lyon have injury doubts over Wilfried Zaha and Moussa Niakhate, the former of these was taken off in the 53^rd minute in the game against Toulouse at the weekend.
