Rangers have brought back Danilo and Ianis Hagi to their Europa League squad as they prepare for the knockout stage of the competition.
Philippe Clement submitted 21 names for the Rangers‘ new A list having been allowed to make three changes after the January window. Clubs can list 25 players providing eight are club and country trained and were able to update their list up until February 6 following the completion of the league phase. Both Hagi and Danilo had missed out on the squad for the start of the campaign – with the Romanian in the midst of a contract stalemate while the Brazilian frontman was injured.
Clinton Nsiala also returns having impressed so far this term having been promoted from the B team and has earned a spot in the squad. Crocked Oscar Cortes misses out having made just eight appearances this term – while injured Feyenoord loanee Neraysho Kasanwirjo also misses out. Kieran Dowell is no longer on the list having joined Birmingham City on loan.
