Rangers are facing several well-known injury concerns before their Europa League matchup with Manchester United.
With a calm confidence in the Gers’ chances south of the border, Philippe Clement and his youthful team travel to Old Trafford.
Before the game, Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, called his team “the worst United side in history,” giving this Battle of Britain match a new meaning.
And now, one of the team’s most seasoned players has joined Rangers before of their Europa League match.
Returning to Rangers training is Tom Lawrence.
Before Rangers’ Europa League matchup with Manchester United, Tom Lawrence was seen working with the team.
The 31-year-old Welsh international made his debut for the Red Devils in the 2013–14 season after excelling at the Man United junior academy.
Since Tom Lawrence’s injury during the Premier Sports Cup semi-final match against Motherwell in November, Rangers have been without the former Derby County captain.
However, the Rangers forward has since been seen practicing with the team again before their Europa League trip to Manchester United.
Even though it’s still uncertain if Tom Lawrence will be involved in the game at Old Trafford, the midfielder’s arrival gives Philippe Clement more creative options.
A Rangers star is rumoured to be leaving Ibrox.
Tom Lawrence’s attendance at Rangers training coincides with high-profile connections leaving Ibrox.
A reunion with former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and a move to Besiktas have been heavily suggested for Lawrence.
As the January transfer window approaches its last two weeks, teams like Premier League team Ipswich Town have also been mentioned as potential suitors for Lawrence.
With Alex Lowry the most recent player to depart Ibrox, Rangers appear poised to cut a number of top earners from their salary bill.
