Rangers squad revealed as Leon Balogun waiting game causes major defensive headache for Borussia Dortmund clash

The Westfalenstadion isn't the kind of venue you want to be heading to while in the midst of an injury crisis.

But that's the task facing Rangers ahead of facing Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League playoff.

Gio van Bronckhorst will be without Leon Balogun for the first leg following the injury he sustained against Hibs.

While he will likely be fit enough for the return fixture at Ibrox, the Dutchman revealed they had to be patient with the 33-year-old.

Filip Helander is back from a long term knee problem, but hasn't been selected for the European squad so he has stayed in Glasgow.

January recruit Mateusz Zukowski has also been left out of the squad for the European showdown.
