Rangers squad revealed for Slavia Prague Europa League clash as Kemar Roofe returns

Rangers have Kemar Roofe back as they take on Slavia Prague in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie.

Steven Gerrard's side officially sealed the title at the weekend but full focus will now be on a tricky trip to the Czech Republic.

Slavia haven't lost a competitive home game since November 2019 and are cruising at the top of the Czech league, and the visitors do have some injury worries.

James Tavernier (knee) is still out for Rangers along with long-term victim Nikola Katic (knee), the suspended Leon Balogun and ineligible Jermain Defoe.

Ryan Jack won’t be risked but Roofe does return from a calf complaint. The former Leeds striker and midfielder Glen Kamara are just one yellow card away from a suspension.

Roofe has been a key man in the European run so far, famously scoring from his own half against Standard Liege.

Slavia forward Stanislav Tecl has recovered from the injury that kept him out of their tie with Leicester and is now in contention. But David Hovorka, Michal Beran, Petr Sevcik and Ibrahim Traore are set to miss out.
