On Thursday, October 24, when Rangers visit FCSB in the UEFA Europa League, Philippe Clement might give Leon Balogun a rare start.
Following their heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock on Sunday, October 20, the Gers will be keen to get back to winning ways.
In an effort to recover from the disappointment of the previous weekend, Clement might start a strong squad, but he might have to make one change after Robin Propper seemed to sustain an injury at Rugby Park.
Balogun might only make his third appearance in the Rangers starting lineup this season as a result of this.
Rangers might make one forced alteration for the match against FCSB.
Jack Butland will stay in goal on Thursday after starting all 14 of the Light Blues’ games in all competitions this season.
Despite constant cries to bench James Tavernier, Clement has maintained his faith in him and is anticipated to do so against the Romanian champions. Neraysho Kasanwirjo is still used as a substitute, and Dujon Sterling has been playing in midfield despite concerns about his fitness after missing the trip to Kilmarnock.
Jeft is anticipated to maintain his position at left back after starting all but one of Rangers’ last ten games in all competitions.Balogun may already be coming for Propper, who seemed to sustain an injury over the weekend and eventually left the game despite playing on, thus John Souttar, who had a terrible game against Killie, is likely to keep his spot.
Nicolas Raskin was replaced in the lineup by Connor Barron, who is probably going to partner with Mohamed Diamonde in the centre of the park. With Vaclay Cerny, Tom Lawrence, and Nedim Bajrami slated to remain, no shocks are likewise anticipated in the future.
Had Rabbi Matondo and Oscar Cortes not been sidelined by injuries, Clement may have made a move. As he works towards complete fitness, it’s also unclear if Danilo will rejoin the matchday squad.
The only opponent Cyriel Dessers has up front now that Danilo is out is Hamza Igamane. Although Clement is probably going to continue with the former, there is a case to be made for Igamane starting against FCSB after the Nigerian international failed to make an impression at Rugby Park.
