Rangers fans are clamouring for reinforcements, given the injury to Ben Godfrey that is contributing toward a mini-crisis and the obvious lack of talent on the wings.

The registration can be completed up to Wednesday night (just before midnight.

This registration must be completed by 23:59 CET the day before the relevant first-leg match and the club’s association must confirm in writing that the new player is currently eligible to play at domestic level.

If the registration of a new player causes the number of players on List A to exceed 25, the club must remove a player registered previously to reduce the number of players on the list to 25 again.

List A is the set main squad of 25 players, which includes homegrown player rules, while List B is the secondary, lengthy list of youth players, club-trained, and under 21 years of age.
