Portugal has been a happy hunting ground for Rangers lately.
A draw with Porto and a win against Braga in last year’s competition do well for the Rangers, but Steven Gerrard’s men will have a hard time playing against Benfica.
Don’t let the 3-0 loss to Boavista on Monday night fool you. The Lisbon team is a good team. Jorge Jesus’ men spent a lot of money in the summer bringing people like the Brazilian Everton cap with them.
Rangers have set a 100 percent record in the Europa League so far this season and are always confident in games like this.
The Ibrox team have lost only five times in European competition during Gerrard’s reign, and only one of them with more than one goal.
Alfredo Morelos took the winner off the bench against Lech Poznan last week and starts in the front tonight.
Bongani Zungu has trained for more than a week but is not on the bench while Filip Helander starts in central defense.
Rangers: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Jack, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Morelos, Kent
Subs: McLaughlin, Bassey, Hagi, Itten, Patterson, Marktschreier, Stewart, Roofe, Balogun, Barjonas, Arfield, Dickson
