Barry Ferguson has named his starting lineup for his first European game as Rangers interim manager.

The Ibrox side are in Turkey for Thursday night’s Europa League last-16 first-leg clash with Fenerbahce in Istanbul.

Former club captain Ferguson, who is taking charge of the team for the third time since replacing Philippe Clement last month, will have to pit his wits against legendary Chelsea, Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho.

Rangers are hoping to bounce back from their defeat to Motherwell at the weekend and grab a result that will keep their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals alive.

Ferguson has started with Jack Butland in goals behind a back four of captain James Tavernier, John Souttar, Robin Propper and Jefte.

Ridvan Yilmaz is wide of a three-man midfield of Connor Barron, Mohamed Diomande and Nico Raskin with Vaclav Cerny tasked with providing the ammunition for lone frontman Cyriel Dessers.
