The Europa League quarter-final between Athletic Bilbao and Rangers remains in the balance as the Basque club host the second leg.

Rangers clung on for a 0-0 draw at Ibrox last week despite Robin Propper’s dismissal early on, aided by a mad few minutes in the second half that saw the visitors have a goal chalked off by VAR and then miss from the penalty spot.

Athletic are going well in La Liga and will be confident of progressing here in front of home fans, but the Scottish side have a good recent history in this competition.

With their Scottish Premiership hopes long gone, interim boss Barry Ferguson will hope their European run can be extended.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

Inaki Williams is a doubt for Athletic Bilbao after suffering a hamstring problem, perhaps leaving Alex Berenguer to deputise on the wing.

Robin Propper is suspended for Rangers after his sending off, though John Souttar and Mohamed Dimonade are back available having served their one-match bans. Souttar, Vaclav Cerny, Leon Balogun and Ridvan Yilmaz have been carrying knocks but Barry Ferguson is hopeful he will be able to call on the quartet. Liam Kelly should keep his place in goal.

Predicted line-ups

Athletic XI: Agirrezabala; De Marcos, Vivian, Alvarez, Lekue; Ruiz de Galarreta, Jauregizar; Berenguer, Sancet, N Williams; Sannadi.
