Rangers Champions League squad revealed for Dynamo Kyiv as Igamane one of 7 new boys named but no place for Cantwell
Rangers’ squad has been confirmed for their Champions League qualifier against Dynamo Kyiv.
And there’s no place for wantway midfielder Todd Cantwell, but new Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane is in. Rangers can bank around £4million by getting through their third round qualifying tie and reaching the Play Off and if they do that then Philippe Clement can make unlimited changes for the two legs against whoever they land in Monday’s draw. Cantwell is out of the first team picture after handing in a transfer request. Clement insists the door remains open for a return, but leaving him out while only naming four midfielders (according to UEFA) tells a story.
Igamane is an interesting inclusion. Little has been seen of the frontman since his £1.7million arrival this summer. But he’ll be in the mix to travel to Poland next week for the clash with Kyiv. Nicolas Raskin misses out through injury while Clinton Nsiala is also left out and doesn’t meet the criteria to be included in the B list. There’s also no room for Ianis Hagi.
UEFA dictate that eight slots on the list must be reserved for “homegrown talent” or “locally trained” players. However, any new potential signings can still be added to the squad before next weeks’ match with UEFA rules allowing any club to add a maximum of two new players to the squad up and including the day before the match takes place.
