Rangers add Hagi, Danilo and Nsiala to European squad

Rangers have added Ianis Hagi, Danilo and Clinton Nsiala to their squad for the Europa League knockout stages.

Kieran Dowell, who joined Birmingham City on loan in January, as well as Neraysho Kasanwirjo and Oscar Cortes, who are both out with long-term injuries, have made way for the latest additions.

Hagi missed out on the squad for the league phase because of a now-resolved contract dispute while Danilo’s return date from injury was still unclear at the time. Nsiala, 21, was not fully integrated into the first-team set-up until last month.

Clubs are permitted to make a maximum of three changes to their squad after the completion of the league phase, so there is no room for January loan signing Rafael Fernandes.

Rangers will face either FC Twente, Fenerbahce, Bodo/Glimt or Anderlecht in the last 16.
