Rangers Nicolas Raskin and Oliver Antman<\/p>\n

The long-awaited availability of new signing Thelo Aasgaard<\/a> is a huge boost for Rangers boss Russell Martin.<\/p>\n

But it also gives the Ibrox gaffer a bit of a headache – albeit not a bad one to have – as he searches around to find his best XI.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool-born Norway international started his first game in Sunday\u2019s draw against St Mirren in Paisley.<\/p>\n

However, Martin played the midfielder up front in an experiment it\u2019s safe to say didn\u2019t go to plan as two more Scottish Premiership<\/a> points were spilled.<\/p>\n

The move allowed the Rangers<\/a> boss to play a midfielder trio of Joe Rothwell, Nico Raskin and Lyall Cameron.<\/p>\n

But with Aasgaard hooked after 65 minutes, what will Martin go for in their decisive second leg Champions League<\/a> play-off tie against Club Brugge?<\/p>\n

Trailing 3-1 from a disastrous first leg at Ibrox, the Light Blues need a huge performance in Belgium to turn it around.<\/p>\n

Back on home soil, Nico Raskin is one player who will no doubt be desperate to impress given his international ambitions in a huge World Cup year.<\/p>\n

\"ClubClub Brugge and Rangers go head to head once again with Champions League football and \u00a340m on the line<\/p>\n

Yet if the rumours sweeping social media are to be believed then Raskin is set to be disappointed with a leaked XI having him on the bench in the Jan Breydel Stadium.<\/p>\n

A line-up was leaked in the build up to Rangers<\/a>\u2019 home game against Viktoria Plzen in the last Champions League qualifying round and it proved to be spot on.<\/p>\n

Martin responded to that, saying: \u201cI’ve said to the guys, it’s not ideal but I’m also not going to lose sleep over it. It has become more common in the modern game” that leaks happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are left out, they tell their agents, friends and family – then somehow it gets to the media quickly. I can’t really control any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, will this be the Rangers XI for the massive clash in Brugge?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Leaked Rangers XI: Butland, Tavernier Djiga, Souttar, Meghoma, Cameron, Rothwell, Aasgaard, Gassama, Antman, Danilo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s a huge night for the Light Blues in Belgium and Russell Martin could be about to make…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1669,59,27301,28963,2714,101,18963,2335,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-96325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-champions-league","tag-gb","tag-lyall-cameron","tag-nicolas-raskin","tag-rangers-fc","tag-sports","tag-thelo-aasgaard","tag-uefa","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
