What are the pre-match odds?
Steven Gerrard's side are the bookies' favourites going into the match and can be backed at around 13/10. If you fancy Feyenoord to pick up all three points, most bookmakers are offering odds of around 12/5 for a win for the Dutch side.
What's the latest team news?
The big news is that Ryan Kent, who moved to Ibrox for around £7 million on deadline day, will not be in the squad after he picked up an injury 40 minutes into his second debut. With Jordan Jones also on the sidelines, Gerrard could opt for Brandon Barker, Sheyi Ojo or Scott Arfield on the left. Jon Flanagan is still recovering from an operation and will not feature in defence, so Borna Barisic is expected to be given the nod.
