Rangers v Benfica – Team news confirmed, Todd Cantwell returns, surprise wing call

There are still a number of formidable players in the Europa League, and Rangers will play Benfica to secure a quarterfinal spot.

After taking over a team that had just suffered a defeat to Cypriot opponents, Gers manager Philippe Clement has revitalized a group that has produced results in both Spain and Portugal.

The match at Ibrox should be just as intense as it was at the Estadio da Luz; your Rangers team is in charge of defeating Benfica.

Benfica vs. Rangers: Team news is confirmed

After being called up to the England squad, Jack Butland will be ecstatic and eager to build on his spectacular performance from the previous week.

Even yet, I’m sure he would prefer a peaceful evening.

While playing in Portugal, John Souttar and Connor Goldson were excellent, and it was unfortunate for them to be involved in both of the team’s goals given up.

James Tavernier and Ridvan Yilmaz will be expected to play further forward while at home, and both players may pose a threat to Benfica.

Though there are fewer alternatives in the midfield, Mohamed Diomande, Tom Lawrence, and John Lundstram will all be well aware of the threat their opponents pose in the engine room.

They appeared to need just two passes in the opening leg, and they were applying pressure to us.

But having Todd Cantwell back is a great help; we really need his enthusiasm and skill with the ball.

It’s almost like the offensive line chooses itself.

Sccott Wright is perhaps our fittest winger, but Fabio Silva was especially good on the left in Portugal.

When he gets tired, Ross McCausland and Rabbi Matondo can offer a break from the bench.

And now would be the perfect time for Cyriel Dessers to get back to his goal-scoring ways, if there ever was one.

The football match may be quite open, but whoever team scores first will have a great chance to advance to the quarterfinals.

We’re hoping for a rematch of 2022 and our illustrious run to the championship.
