Bongani Zungu will make his first European start for Rangers against Lech Poznan as Steven Gerrard looks to integrate the new boy into his side with more minutes.
Ryan Jack and Filip Helander will not be risked as the manager opts for a patient approach to their fitness after time out of the team.
The pair were expected to feature in the final group game of the season but Gerrard has decided to leave both out to ensure they are fit to face Dundee United on Sunday.
While the Ibrox men are already through to the last 32 of the Europa League, the game is far from a dead rubber.
If Rangers can match Benfica's result they qualify as group winners and will be seeded for the next round - a major advantage with some difficult teams potentially lying in wait.
Jermain Defoe, George Edmundson and Jordan Jones are not part of the Light Blues' European squad
Defender Nikola Katic remains on the sidelines as he recovers from a long-term knee injury.
