This is Giovanni van Bronckhorst's first game in charge of Rangers so it remains to be seen how he will approach it. Forward duo Alfredo Morelos and Fashion Sakala are one booking away from a one-match ban in the competition. Tomas Wiesner came off in the first half of Sparta Prague's 4-0 defeat to Slovacko at the weekend and is expected to miss out here. Andreas Vindheim will deputise. Ondrej Celustka hasn't recovered from injury sustained in their last Europa League match at the start of the match. David Hancko will move inside from right-back to deputise for Celustka, with Matej Polidar coming into the back four.
Life without Steven Gerrard as manager started with a 3-1 home defeat to Hibernian in the Scottish Cup at the weekend. Giovanni van Bronckhorst now takes over for his first match here. Sparta Prague head into Thursday's match having lost 4-0 away to domestic high flyers Slovacko at the weekend. They were also beaten 3-0 away to Lyon in their last Europa League game. This is a difficult match to gauge. Sparta Prague aren't in good form but how will Rangers react to Gerrard's departure and Van Bronckhorst's arrival? At least Van Bronckhorst has home advantage here. 1:1
