Rangers welcome Sparta Prague to Ibrox tonight in the Europa League as they look to continue their recent upturn in form.

The reverse fixture a fortnight ago remains the only blemish on the 100% record of new boss Philippe Clement, as his side took some time to grow into the game as they came away with a 0-0 draw that left them on four points in the group.

But having recorded improved performances and results in the last week first against Dundee in the league and then Hearts in the League Cup semi final, the Belgian will hope to see his continue their momentum and put themselves one step closer to the next round.

Kemar Roofe returns to the squad for the first time since the 4-0 win at home to Hibernian, although he is unlikely to play any more than five-10 minutes, although Hampden hero Scott Wright is a doubt having picked up a knock in that match.

For the first time since I took over the running of Inside Ibrox, all of our team predicted the exact same line up for Rangers tonight.

That team sees just the one change from the weekend, and that one is forced with Leon Balogun both not in the European squad and likely nursing a knock he picked up against Hearts, with our writers predicted Ben Davies coming in as his replacement.

It means that both Todd Cantwell and Sam Lammers could once again line up in the same team, despite doubts from some that they work well together in the way Clement lines up.

Predicted line up

Goalkeeper: Jack Butland

Defence: James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Ben Davies, Borna Barisic

Midfield: Ryan Jack, John Lundstram

Attacking Midfield: Todd Cantwell, Sam Lammers, Abdallah Sima
