Red Star Belgrade possible 11: Â
Borjan, Piccini, Erakovic, Dragovic, Rodic, Srnic, Sanogo, Katai, Kanga, Ivanic and Omoijuanfo
Rangers possible 11:
McGregor, Bassey, Balogun, Goldson, Tavernier, Lundstram, Kamara, Jack, Aribo, Kent and Morelos
Prediction: Red Star Belgrade 1-2 Rangers
Rangers has a three-goal cushion in the first leg and we fancy them to continue the same here as well.
The Serbian side can use the home advantage but we see it as too big an ask for them.
Players to watch out for: Omoijuanfo, Kanga, Morelos and Kamara.
