Rangers' Europa League squad revealed as Steven Gerrard makes major call on trio of wide men

Steven Gerrard has selected his Rangers squad for the Europa League stage - with Jordan Jones the major casualty.

Jones' omission is a surprise with the winger set to just miss a month with swelling in his knee. The former Kilmarnock star was sent off in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Celtic and was left crocked after his moment of madness.

Third choice keeper Andy Firth is the other notable omission, but new signing Ryan Kent is part of the 50-player-squad (that includes 28 on the player B list).

Brandon Barker remains out with a knee injury, but he has been registered, so will likely feature at some stage in the Gers' European campaign upon his expected return later this month. Greg Docherty misses out after he played in four matches in the qualifying stages.

Rangers once again navigated four rounds of qualifying to reach the tournament proper as they defeated St Joseph's, Progres Niederkorn, Midtjylland and Legia Warsaw.

And plenty of glamour awaits as Gerrard 's side will face Feyenoord, Porto and Young Boys as they look to seal a place in the last 32.

The 50 players named are set in stone for the duration of the group stage, so no more changes can be made until the knockouts - if Rangers make it.
