Rangers have left Danilo and Rabbi Matondo out of their squad for their upcoming Europa League campaign.

Philippe Clement has named his roster for the competition which kicks-off with an away trip to Malmo on September 26.

Due to only having four Scots in the A-squad, the Ibrox side were only able to name 21 players for the tournament.

Players such as Ross McCausland and Leon King are not required to be named in the line up as they are from the club’s academy, so they will be part of the B-squad instead.

Danilo not being included means Clement will only have Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igmane as proven centre-forwards.

They will be supported by the likes of Oscar Cortes, Nedim Bajrami and Vaclav Cerny who have all been included.

Matondo had to be taken off in the first half during Sunday’s Old Firm defeat to Celtic and has also pulled out of the Wales squad for this week’s Nations League games.

Following the game in Malmo, Rangers will play Lyon, Steaua Bucharest, Olympiacos, Nice, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and USG.
