Mendes doubtful for European clash

Pedro Mendes is an injury doubt for Rangers’ Champions League game against Unirea Urziceni.

The midfielder missed the visit to St Johnstone at the weekend with a thigh strain and has yet to fully recover.

Madjid Bougherra is back in the squad for the clash at Ibrox after also missing Saturday’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League game following a late return from international duty.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Whittaker, Papac, Weir, Smith, Naismith, Davis, Thomson, McCulloch, Rothen, Novo, Lafferty, Boyd, Miller, Loy, McMillan, Fleck, Alexander, Bougherra.
