Rangers travel to take on Hamilton Academical today.

Rangers starting line-up: McGregor; Tavernier, Katic, Goldson, Halliday; Rossiter, Coulibaly, Ejaria; Kent, Candeias, Morelos.

Rangers substitutes: Foderingham, Worrall, Flanagan, McCrorie, Grezda, Middleton, Sadiq.

Rangers are back in action this afternoon as they travel to New Douglas Park to take on Hamilton Academical in their first match back from the latest international break.

The Gers have been dealt a couple of blows in the lead up to the game, as Borna Barisic and Scott Arfield are injure, whilst Kyle Lafferty has been made unavailable, after Northern Ireland prevented him from playing.

Steven Gerrard does still have a strong squad at his disposal, with Allan McGregor in goal as usual, and Nikola Katic returning to partner Connor Goldson at centre back, having seen Joe Worrall play there regularly of late.

James Tavernier is at right back and Andy Halliday comes in for Barisic at left back, with regularly-injured Jordan Rossiter handed a shock start in holding midfield.

Lassana Coulibaly and Ovie Ejaria play ahead of him, with Coulibaly offering a box-to-box energy and Ejaria more of a creative force behind the front three.

The Rangers attack features Ryan Kent and Daniel Candeias out wide, and Alfredo Morelos leading the line as the trio look to keep up their fine form.

Worrall is named on the bench, alongside Wes Foderingham, Jon Flanagan, Ross McCrorie and Glenn Middleton, as well as winger Eros Grezda and striker Umar Sadiq.
