By Football Daft at 24 April, 2008, 4:20 am

Rangers will welcome Italian side Fiorentina to Ibrox tonight in the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi final clash between the pair. Although Walter Smith’s team will have the benefit of playing at home, Fiorentina will be the favourites amongst most as the Ibrox injury list continues to grow and with suspensions to take place, no fewer than 8 Rangers players are out of the UEFA Cup semi final clash.

Rangers skipper Barry Ferguson and midfield partner Kevin Thomson will both miss out due to suspension but Allan McGregor, Steven Naismith, DaMarcus Beasley, Charlie Adam, Lee McCulloch and Chris Burke are all out with injuries. Kris Boyd is also a slight concern after suffering from food poisoning.

Fiorentina will be missing defender Tomas Ujfalusi who is injured and Marco Donadel in midfield is also out due to suspension but Defender Dario Dainelli is available for selection after recovering from a head injury sustained in Fiorentina’s weekend clash with Palermo.
