Rangers vs Real Betis predicted line up with Raskin latest injury blow

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has picked his team to face Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League on Thursday evening, making two changes from the team that lost at the last minute to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership last weekend.

Marley Watkins’ late goal in Ayrshire plunged the Light Blues into further title doubt, currently sitting six points behind Celtic and Aberdeen after only eight games of the top-flight season – but in a change to get away from their domestic failures, Clement will look to get his side back on track on the continental scene when Romanian outfit Steaua travel to Ibrox, hoping to take advantage of their poor form.
