Rangers summer signing Filip Helander has been removed from the Ibrox club's Europa League squad.

The squad for the play-off round tie against Legia Warsaw has been submitted to UEFA and manager Steven Gerrard has made two changes.

Helander, who joined from Bologna in a multi-million pound deal last month, has dropped out along with Greg Docherty. New signings Brandon Barker and Andy King have been drafted in.

Docherty and Helander both played in the 3-0 League Cup victory over East Fife on Sunday. Helander played no part in either leg of the 7-3 aggregate win over Midtjylland in the last round of Europa League qualifying.

The two-legged tie against Polish side Legia is all that stands between Rangers and the group stages of competition.
