Rangers – Sparta Prague preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Rangers vs Sparta Prague lineups.
Rangers
The fortunes of Rangers changed dramatically since they changed managers a month ago. Under Clement Rangers are near-perfect (W4 D1) with their only mistake in that run the 0-0 away draw vs Sparta Prague in the previous round. Rangers were lucky to keep a clean sheet on that occasion.
The mood in the dressing room is great right now as at the weekend Rangers booked their place in the Scottish League Cup final with a convincing 3-0 win vs Hearts. Tavernier scored 2 of the goals and he is in great form right now with major contributions in 4 of the 5 matches under the new manager.
Rangers remain without the services of their best striker Roofe. He is 1 of 4 players currently in the treatment room. Several others are considered doubtful due to knocks and bruises. Key playmaker Todd Cantwell should overcome his minor injury on time though and he is expected to make at least the bench.
Predicted Lineup:
Butland (GK), Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Barisic, Lundstram, Jack, Wright, Lammers, Sima & Silva
Sparta Prague
Sparta Prague control their destiny and they come into this match with 4 points from their first 3 games in the group. Last time around unfortunate to only draw 0-0 at home vs Rangers. Played well and deserved to score.
Sparta are high on confidence and they are going very strong in the Czech league too (W11 D2 L1). On Sunday rested many regulars and still beat Bohemians 2-0 without much bother.
Captain Krejci scored 2 goals in the first 2 rounds but he is likely to be absent now due to an ongoing knee issue. Centre-back Vitik also could miss as he is ill.
At least, starting wing-back Preciado and wide midfielder Haraslin have recovered from injuries and they will both be available.
Predicted Lineup:
Jensen (GK), Sorensen, Panak, Wiesner, Preciado, Laci, Kaarinen, Rynes, Birmancevic, Kuchta & Karabec
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Player to Watch: James Tavernier
Rangers rely on their right-back James Tavernier at both ends of the pitch right now. He scored 3 goals in the last 3 games and netted a brace at the weekend in the League Cup semifinal.
With the team’s star striker out injured and all other forwards misfiring Tavernier’s ability to cause damage from set pieces is proving hugely important. Can Tavernier score in a third consecutive home game?
