Rangers Champions League squad revealed for Malmo as Jake Hastie handed surprise slot

Rangers return to the Champions League on Tuesday night and Steven Gerrard is facing some big calls already.

It's been a decade since the Ibrox side last had a chance to reach the group stage as the gear up to face Malmo.

There are some surprise inclusions for the third round qualifier as the Premiership champions look to get off to the perfect start in Sweden.

Notably, fringe men like Jake Hastie are set to travel out with the side despite featuring for the B team throughout pre-season.

Ryan Jack is also set to be in the running for a spot in the team, with Gerrard confirming ahead of the league opener against Livingston that he was nearing full fitness.

However, it remains to be seen if he will risk the midfielder for the crucial clash.

Alfredo Morelos is named in the squad despite missing the first leg amid Covid red tape after travelling back from Colombia.

Glen Kamara and Kemar Roofe will miss the two legs of the Malmo game through suspension as they serve UEFA bans, but must be named in the squad to see out the suspension.
