STEVEN GERRARD could hand Lassana Coulibaly and Umar Sadiq their Rangers debuts against Osijek on Thursday night.
The pair missed the Europa League victory over FK Shkupi after their moves to Ibrox didn’t get international clearance in time for them to be registered to play.
Coulibaly, who has agreed a season-long loan deal from Angers, and Roma star Sadiq have now been included in the squad for the second qualifying round tie with Croatian outfit Osijek.

But there is no place for defender Lee Hodson after he was cut from the squad ahead of his Ibrox exit this summer.
Gerrard’s side travel to the Stadion Gradski Vrt this week before the return leg at Ibrox.
The draw for the third round of the competition was made on Monday and Rangers will face Maribor or Chikhura Sachkhere if they progress.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
