Rangers are gearing up to face FCSB in an exciting Europa League match at Ibrox. The manager, Phillippe Clement, is making some changes to the squad, with Balogun and Raskin set to start. Despite a win and a loss in the league phase, Rangers are looking to put on a strong performance against the Romanians.
Former Rangers striker, Steven Thompson, believes that Dujon Sterling should start the game to add some aggression and physicality to the team. Clement is hoping to avoid his first back-to-back loss as Rangers manager and is urging his players to focus on their performance rather than just reacting to their previous defeat against Kilmarnock.
FCSB, on the other hand, have had a strong start in the Europa League with maximum points from their first two fixtures. They are coming off a derby win over Dinamo Bucharest and will be looking to maintain their winning streak in Glasgow.
The history between these two teams dates back to the 1969-70 Cup Winners’ Cup, with Rangers winning the first encounter but Steaua getting their revenge in the 1987-88 European Cup. The visitors have made some changes to their lineup, with six alterations from their weekend win over Dinamo Bucharest.
Rangers, on the other hand, are in need of a boost after a bumpy start to the season both on and off the pitch. With changes in the squad and a desire to perform better, the team is hoping to turn things around with a strong showing in the Europa League.
As the fans gather at Ibrox for the much-anticipated match, the atmosphere is electric with both sets of supporters showing up in good numbers. The FCSB fans have traveled from Bucharest to support their team, while the home fans are eager to see their team secure a victory on home turf.
With the stage set for an exciting clash between Rangers and FCSB, both teams will be aiming to come out on top and secure valuable points in the Europa League. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter full of action and drama as the two sides battle it out for supremacy on the field.
