Liverpool Loanee Ejaria & Two Nigerian Strikers Named In Rangers Europa League Squad

Published: September 05, 2018

Former Golden Eaglets invitee Ovie Ejaria has been included in Rangers' 45-man Europa League squad by manager Steven Gerrard.

The Liverpool loanee played a key role for Rangers as they qualified for the group stage of the competition, playing eight games and scoring one goal against Sylvester Igboun's Ufa.

Ejaria has been named on the senior list along with the out of favour Nigerian striker Sadiq Umar, who has made only one appearance in the Europa League two months after joining the club on loan from AS Roma.

Rangers U18 and U20 striker Adedapo Awokoya-Mebude has been named on the List B and has been handed the number 62 shirt.

The 17-year-old was eligible for the List B as he has been at Rangers for more than two years.

Steven Gerrard's side will trade tackles with Rapid Vienna, Spartak Moscow and Villarreal in Group G of the Europa League.

Ejaria's stunning goal against Ufa has been nominated for Rangers' Goal of the Month award for August 2018.
