Rangers take on AS Roma in the Europa League at Ibrox on Thursday.
The Glasgow club have lost all three games in the competition so far this season. That is one reason Rangers’ game against the Italian side carries major importance.
Roma go in as favourites, but Danny Rohl’s side may have a bigger opportunity than they expected.
Corriere dello Sport, via Pagine Romaniste, report that Manu Kone and Gianluca Mancini can be rested for the Rangers tie.
Paulo Dybala picked up a muscle injury against AC Milan on Sunday. The newspaper expect him to be out of action against Rangers too.
Evan Ferguson and Angelino are already out due to injuries.
Due to Roma having played a lot of games recently, Gian Piero Gasperini is considering further changes to the side. This is leading him to consider resting Mancini and Kone.
The duo have been vital for the Giallorossi this season. Kone has been the sole creative spark in midfield, growing in stature since the 2024/25 campaign. Mancini has emerged as a leader at the back under Gasperini.
With Dybala also out, their absences would make Roma easier to play against. Rangers will have to take advantage of this.
