RANGERS were on the training pitch today ahead of tomorrow’s UEFA Europa League match against Benfica. FABIO SILVA is excited at the prospect of a European debut for Rangers as the squad touched down in Portugal ahead of the UEFA Europa League first-leg tie against Benfica.
The Porto-born forward spent two years in Benfica’s Academy as a youngster but is now preparing to come up against them as Philippe Clement’s men take to the knockout rounds of the competition. Speaking to Rangers TV on arrival at Estádio da Luz, Silva said: “It is special to come back again to my country. We are in a good mood, we have prepared well this week for this game. I think everyone likes to play these games and we need no motivation. As the coach said to us, we always try to do everything to win, to take the three points. The Europa League is a special competition, it is a competition everyone wants to play and since I was a kid I dreamed of playing in these competitions. I played for PSV in the Europa League, but it is special to play with Rangers because it is a special club, a historic club and I feel really good here.”
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1)
Butland; Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Barisic; Lundstram, Diomande; McCausland, Lawrence, Cortes; Dessers.
Stefano Pioli will look to replicate their first leg against Rennes, which gave AC Milan an unprecedented 3-0 lead heading for the return leg in France. Hence, the manager will pick the most potent possible lineup for this clash at San Siro.
(4-2-3-1): Maignan; Florenzi, Gabbia, Thiaw, Hernandez; Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giro
