Rangers vs Roma Team News
- Rangers will be boosted by the return of Connor Barron from suspension, but Rabbi Matondo (knee), Dujon Sterling (Achilles) and Kieran Dowell (foot) remain sidelined through injury. Rohl could rotate his side following a demanding clash with Celtic, with Djeidi Gassama, Mikey Moore and Bojan Miovski among those pushing for starts. Miovski may replace the out-of-form Youssef Chermiti up front, while Moore is an option to come in for Aasgaard.
- Roma, meanwhile, are forced into changes after Paulo Dybala was ruled out for three weeks with an injury sustained during his missed penalty at the weekend. With Evan Ferguson (ankle) also unavailable, Artem Dovbyk is expected to lead the line, supported by either Leon Bailey or Lorenzo Pellegrini. Angelino (bronchitis) and the ineligible duo Tommaso Baldanzi and Devis Vasquez will also miss Thursday’s clash.
Rangers vs Roma Match Prediction
Rangers will be desperate to end their six-game European losing streak when they host Roma, but fatigue from Sunday’s gruelling Old Firm defeat could take its toll.
Danny Rohl’s side have shown flashes of improvement domestically, yet their defensive fragility remains a major concern against higher-quality opposition.
Roma, meanwhile, arrive in Glasgow eager to respond after back-to-back Europa League defeats dented their qualifying hopes.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have looked far more composed in Serie A and should have enough attacking quality to edge this contest.
