Europa League 2024-2025: Rangers-Athletic Bilbao, the likely lineups

The’Ibrox Stadium will be the scene of the match between Glasgow Rangers and Athletic Bilbao, valid for the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. The hosts earned access to this round by defeating Jose Mourinho&#8217s Fenerbahce in the penalty shoot-out lottery. The Basques, on the other hand, bent Claudio Ranieri&#8217s Roma at home.

Ferguson is expected to confirm former Cremonese player Dessers at the center of the attack, with Bajrami and Cerny going to make up the trequartista line. In the median, room for Raskin and Barron, with Sterling and Jefte as full-band outsiders.

Valverde, on the other hand, is expected to bet again on Guruzeta as the offensive terminal, with the Williams brothers (Nico and Inaki) and Unai Gomez in support. In defense, protecting Agirrezabala, there will be Vivian and Boiro.
