Philippe Clement might be persuaded to add Robin Propper to his Rangers starting lineup for Thursday’s Europa League matchup against Tottenham.
The Gers have been playing well lately, winning four of their past five games, including a 3-0 triumph over Ross County in their most recent meeting.
The Belgian will undoubtedly want his team to keep winning, but their matchup with Spurs on December 12 will be among their most difficult opponents thus far this season.
Three changes will be made by Philippe Clement for Rangers vs. Tottenham.
Jack Butland, who has been one of the first names on Clement’s teamsheet since coming to Ibrox last season, will undoubtedly be the goalie.
The first alteration will be in their backline, as Jefte and James Tavernier will both remain at full-back.

However, it seems like Propper should be brought in to partner John Souttar at the centre of the defence and Leon Balogun should be rested after playing the Gers’ past two games in a row.
The largest alterations will be made in the midfield, as Clement may decide to try to outmuscle Spurs’ midfield by moving to a 4-2-3-1 configuration.
Mohammed Diomande, Nico Raskin, and Connor Barron are probably going to make up the central midfield trio. Due to his absence from the Europa League squad, Ianis Hagi will be replaced by the latter of the three.
Vaclav Cerny will assist Tavernier in holding down the fort on the right against Son Heung-min, while the wingers will likely remain the same with the in-form Hamza Igamane on the left.
Since Danilo isn’t registered for the Europa League team either, Cyriel Dessers will undoubtedly return to the starting lineup at the number nine position.
Rangers will have a tough test on Thursday, but given Spurs’ recent success, an upset may be in the cards.
