In his scouting report, commentator Liam McLeod also picks out 21-year-old Belgian wide man Alexis Saelemaekers and Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie among the big threats to Celtic.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has made three changes to the side that claimed a 2-0 victory at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Filip Helander replaces Leon Balogun in central defence, while Ryan Jack and Ianis Hagi come into midfield ahead of Steven Davis and Brandon Barker. The trio who drop out are all on the bench.

Striker Kemar Roofe, who was playing in Belgium with Anderlecht last season, has missed Rangers' past six games with injury but takes his place on the bench tonight.

Standard Liege head coach Philippe Montanier: "We are aware that in one week, the cases of coronavirus have exploded and we are no exception to the rule. The players are very careful, whether at the club or outside, so we remain rather calm.

"The example of Club Brugge is a good example. The Brugeois left without three starters at Zenit St Petersburg and they won. It is a good omen."

Rangers have headed to Belgium in a high, leading the Scottish Premiership, seeking a sixth win in a row, unbeaten in 13 games since losing to Bayer Leverkusen in the delayed last 16 of last season's Europa League, seven of them away from home.

However, hosts Standard Liege are themselves unbeaten in seven outings and sit fourth in Belgian top flight, only a point behind leaders Club Brugge after the rivals drew 1-1 at the weekend.

Indeed, they are unbeaten in 14 games at home stretching back to December.

Liege, though, have failed to emerge from the Europa League group stages in each of their past five attempts.

Match commentator Alasdair Lamont has picked out 21-year-old Belgium central defender Zinho Vanheusden, winger Maxime Lestienne and midfielder Samuel Bastien, a recent target for West Ham United, as the key men for Liege.

Moroccan midfielder Selim Amallah will also be a man to watch, having scored in all three of their Europa League ties so far this season.

Liege normally play a 5-3-2 formation similar to Celtic's. Rangers will hope they handle it as well tonight.

With the national team showing a resurgence in form, it is the turn of Celtic and Rangers to continue to lift the gloom that has often surrounded Scottish football in recent years.

The two Glasgow rivals are together in the group stage of the Europa League for the third year running and, with both having qualified from their sections last term, and Rangers reaching the last 16, they will have high hopes of another good showing.

Rangers kick-off the evening in Belgium against Standard Liege, with Celtic entertaining another famous name in European football, AC Milan, later.
