-----------------------------------
Rangers - LWLWWL
Rangers will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 0-2 Premiership defeat in their last game at the hands of Hibernian.
In that match, Rangers had 72% possession and 15 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Hibernian got 7 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Dylan Levitt (8') and Martin Boyle (69') scored for Hibernian.
It has been seldom in recent games where Rangers haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Rangers have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 12 goals during that time.
Athletic Bilbao - LDWWDD

In that game, Athletic Bilbao managed 43% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Villarreal had 12 shots at goal with 4 of them on target.
Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao have converted a total of 6 times in the course of their latest six matches. The number of goals that have been scored against them during those same clashes adds up to 5.
Rangers possible starting lineup:
Butland; Tavernier, Propper, Balogun; Sterling, Barron, Raskin, Jefte; Bajrami, Cerny; Dessers

Rangers vs Athletic Bilbao Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have squared off twice, with both meetings taking place in the erstwhile Fairs Cup in 1969. Both teams registered home wins, and the Gers progressed to the next round on aggregate score.
The hosts have met Spanish teams 28 times in competitive games. They have struggled in these meetings, recording six wins. Nonetheless, they have an unbeaten record in four meetings in the Europa League against Spanish teams, recording two wins.
Athletic Bilbao have won just one of their last seven away games in all competitions. They have suffered three defeats, and three games have ended in draws.
Rangers have lost five of their last 13 competitive games, with all losses registered at home. They have conceded two goals apiece in four of these losses.
Bilbao have lost their last two away games in the Europa League, conceding six goals while scoring twice.
Prediction: Rangers 2-2 Athletic Bilbao
First legs can often be cagey affairs but goals are to be expected on Thursday; six of Rangers' 10 Europa League games have seen three or more goals scored, while each of Athletic Bilbao's last four matches in the competition have also seen 3+ goals netted (eight for, eight against).
Rangers have struggled on home soil in recent weeks, but another special European night at Ibrox could be in store for the Gers and they may do enough to claim at least a share of the spoils to keep the tie nicely poised ahead of next week's second leg in Spain.
