Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Rangers could line up for their Europa League clash at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement is likely to go with a very attacking approach when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Ibrox in the Europa League on Thursday.

Loading the starting XI with many offensive players has worked wonders in recent weeks for Rangers, contributing to four straight wins in all competitions, scoring 14 goals.

In particular, the addition of Ianis Hagi into central midfield, with four additional attacking players ahead of him has paid off, with one of those central to their recent success being Hamza Igamane.

The Moroccan youngster has paid back his manager's faith by scoring four goals in four games since being handed an opportunity in the side, including two in their 4-1 win at Nice on matchday five of this competition.

Danilo has also reclaimed his place in the side up front from Cyriel Dessers after returning from injury, finding the net in back-to-back games, but the man he replaced has also continued good form, scoring twice off the bench in the recent thrashing of Kilmarnock.

The one change in the side could see Mohammed Diomande return after only starting on the bench at Ross County over the weekend, with this game possibly in mind, after he also netted in the convincing win in Southern France last time out in Europe.

Across the entire season, Vaclav Cerny has been in superb form, scoring three and assisting twice in the league phase so far - no other player in the Europa League has as many goal involvements as the Czech winger.

On the injury list, Neraysho Kasanwirjo is the only long-term absentee, with his knee injury set to keep him out for six months, but returns for Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo and Tom Lawrence should not be too far away.

Only one player in the side will have had regular experience of facing Tottenham, and that is goalkeeper Jack Butland, who enjoyed many years in the Premier League with Stoke City and Crystal Palace, before making the move north of the border.

Rangers possible starting lineup: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun, Jefte; Raskin, Hagi; Cerny, Diomande, Igamane; Danilo
