BREAKING NEWS:Rangers vs Nice Europa League kick-off has been reschedule….
Nice, who were the club’s first European opponents way back in 1956 during a tumultuous triple-header, sit below Philippe Clement’s side in the league table.
However, pressure on Clement is at fever-pitch after Rangers dropped further points on Saturday during a 1-1 draw with Dundee United.
Our writers predict the team the Belgian manager will opt for tonight.

It perhaps sums up the situation that Rangers are in right now that the two players who made a difference against Dundee United – Ianis Hagi and Danilo – are not available for the trip to Nice. As a result, Clement has few ways of sparking life into his forward line.
The playmaker and No.9 positions are a real issue right now. It could be solved by shifting Nedim Bajrami to a central berth. Given the limited options in the wide areas, that could mean a return for Ross McCausland. He does at least have pace, something which Rangers really lack. On form, Mohamed Diomande doesn’t merit a start.
The other big calls come at the back. Robin Propper and Dujon Sterling were surprise starters at the weekend. Sterling should keep his spot but Leon Balogun deserves the second centre-back slot. It could be a busy night for both.
