“Barisic,” “Flanagan” – A lot of Gers fans are unsure who should start as their left-back on Thursday in the Europa League, and on Sunday in the Old Firm.
Borna Barisic scored a fantastic free-kick on Sunday against St Mirren – to keep the Gers 100% record in the league alive.
This has led to some Rangers fans thinking that he deserves the chance to play on Thursday in the second leg of the Europa League playoff-round against Legia Warsaw.
Jon Flanagan is the other option to consider, and he has played four games so far this season.
Barisic would offer Steven Gerrard’s side more natural width and attacking threat, but Flanagan is a solid, no-nonsense full-back – who will give everything for the cause.
It, therefore, is possible that Gerrard will play Barisic on Thursday and Flanagan on Sunday.
Either way, these Gers fans are unsure of what to do.

Flanagan for both, Barisic scored a good free kick but he’s still been rotten the last few games.

Flanagan next two games

Flanny Alves for both

I think Flanagan will end up playing both, just don’t see Gerrard having enough faith in BB defensively

Flanagan aw day long ????

Many Rangers supporters believe that Flanagan should play both games because Barisic has still not impressed them.
Barisic, keep Flanagan for Sunday

Barasic is a Croatian international so there’s a player in there somewhere! Flannigan….well…????

Flanagan is the better defender imo but would be happy if Borna gets the nod simply because if we want him to improve he needs to feel wanted and needs mins Sunday gave him confidence too plus Europe is more his forté so gets the nod from me over Flanagan roles reversed sun tho

Other Gers fans think that Barisic should play in the Europa League after his wonder goal.
