Confirmed Malmo vs Rangers XIs and team news as Philippe Clement makes 2 changes

Philippe Clement has made two changes to his Rangers line-up ahead of tonight's Euro showdown in Malmo.

The Light Blues are in Sweden tonight for their opening Europa League match but are without a few key players. It was confirmed yesterday that Oscar Cortes suffered an injury setback in training and will be out of action for a number of weeks. He joins Ridvan Yilmaz, Rabbi Matondo and Danilo on the sidelines, while Brazilian left-back Jefte is suspended.

That sees summer signing Neraysho Kasanwirjo makes his first start for the club, while Mohamed Diomande has replaced Dujon Sterling in the middle of the park.
