Philippe Clement has confirmed Rangers will make three changes to their squad list for the Europa League.

The Ibrox boss has admitted he will make the maximum number of changes allowed to his squad for the latter stages of the tournament.

Clement revealed he was "not totally aligned" with the squad selection for the European competition under Michael Beale.

And he admitted some players he would like included will not be included in the squad list.

Clement said: "I was not totally aligned with how the European list was from the start of the season, so we will only have three changes and the reality will be some players I would like to have in the squad there will miss out."

Rangers had until midnight to submit their squad for the latter stages of the Europa League with three alterations allowed from their first squad list for the group stage.

Meanwhile, Clement confirmed he would not rush Danilo back into action for Rangers, while Zak Lovelace will return to B team duty before rejoining the first team.

He said: "We won't risk anything with Danilo, we won't risk his return for the sake of a few weeks but he will remain around the squad.

"Lovelace needs to make steps with the B-Team first to return after three months out. He will then progress to some training sessions with us."

Discussing potential transfer exits before the window closed yesterday, he said: "There were players who could have moved on but they wanted to stay.

"It shows we have a group who want to be here in this story and achieve something special together."
