Neither has made a first team appearance for the Ibrox side but are included in the squad for the European campaign on the 'B-list' - a section for clubs to include youth players trained by the club.
Inclusions on the B-list are unlimited and are supplementary to the squad of 24, but players must be born on, or after, 1 January 1998 and have been eligible to play for the club for two years in an uninterrupted spell.
Hogarth's older brother Nicky, another ex-Graeme High pupil, is also on Rangers' books and was included in last year's UEFA squad list. He then spent a period on loan at East Stirlingshire.

However the best known player with a Falkirk link in Steven Gerrard's squad remains Scott Arfield who left the Bairns in 2010 for Huddersfield in a £400,000 move and sandwiched a move to Burnley between his switch to Ibrox last summer.
