The games are open for this second round between Athletic Bilbao and Glasgow Rangers in the quarter -final return from Europa League, this Thursday evening (kick -off at 9 p.m.). The two teams had left on a zero and virgin score in Scotland a week ago (0-0). Despite its sawtooth results during this European campaign, the Basque club tackles this return match with a favorite costume for a multitude of reasons.
Bilbao has a few strong links in its ranks, starting with the detonator Nico Williams in attack and the Guardian Unai Simon at the other end, two pillars of the Spanish selection of European champion. And then Bilbao is also and above all San Mamés, a football cathedral on the other side of the Pyrenees. And a stadium that will host the final of this 2024-25 edition of the Europa League. Rangers are warned.
The expected compos
Athletic Bilbao : Simon – de Marcos, Alvarez, Vivian, Lekue – de Galarreta, Jauregizar; N. Williams, Sancet, Berenguer – Guruzeta.
Glasgow Rangers: Butland – Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun – Yilmaz, Barron, Raskin, Jefte; Diomande, Cerny – Dessers.
