Rangers winger Daniel Candeias has been included in Rangers' Europa League squad for Thursday night's first round qualifier against Progres Niederkorn.

The 29-year-old was originally omitted from the squad due to problems with his registration but is now free to make his competitive Rangers debut at Ibrox.

Jordan Thompson was removed from the squad to allow Candeias to be selected.

Candeias is one of eight new signings brought into Ibrox during this transfer window, joining Ryan Jack, Carlos Pena, Dalcio, Alfredo Morelos, Eduardo Herrera, Bruno Alves and Fabio Cardoso.

Only Bruno Alves is not now in the squad for the game against Progres, having started in the Confederations Cup semi-final for Portugal against Chile on Wednesday.

Rangers will be playing their first European tie in six years following their 3-2 aggregate defeat at the hands of Maribor in 2011-12 season.
