Rangers' Europa League squad revealed as Scott Wright available for Royal Antwerp clash

Rangers have submitted their squad for the remainder of the Europa League as they gear up for the last 32.

New signings Scott Wright and Jack Simpson have been added to the ranks ahead of the double header with Royal Antwerp, with the first leg on February 18 in Belgium before the return leg in Govan on February 25.

Wright was announced in the final flushes of transfer deadline day as he arrived from Aberdeen while Simpson jetted in from Bournemouth.

Veteran striker Jermain Defoe misses the cut once again having been left out of the group stage list with a focus on domestic action for the England cap.

Gerrard explained Defoe's absence back in October: “It doesn’t make sense to ask him to go Thursday-Sunday-Thursday-Sunday at his age and with the injuries he’s had.

“We’ve made a decision to give him a different programme, a tailored programme that is a bit different from the rest so he can put in performances like he did at the weekend.”

The 38-year-old earned his last start for The Light Blues back on December 19 in the 3-1 win over Motherwell and has scored four goals so far this term.
