It is a big night for Rangers in Europe with the remaining Scottish club in continental competition in Braga for their Europa League quarter-final first-leg.

Here are all the main headlines, news and transfer rumours from around the SPFL and Scottish football:

Morelos miss, but Rangers can cope

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst believes Rangers can cope without talismanic striker Alfredo Morelos.
