Rangers travel to take on Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership this evening.

Rangers starting line-up: Foderingham; Tavernier, Bates, Martin, John; Holt, Goss; Candeias, Windass, Murphy; Cummings.

Rangers substitutes: Alnwick, Cardoso, Halliday, Docherty, Dodoo, Miller, Morelos.

Rangers are back in action this evening as they make the short trip across Glasgow to take on Partick Thistle at Firhill.

The Gers suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Hibernian on Saturday afternoon, and manager Graeme Murty will be looking for an instant response from his players tonight.

Murty has made just one change to his side tonight, as striker Jason Cummings – signed on loan from Nottingham Forest last month – starts a league game for the first time since his January move.

Wes Foderingham starts in goal once again, with James Tavernier, David Bates, Russell Martin and Declan John forming the back four in front of the Rangers goalkeeper.

Jason Holt and Sean Goss start in central midfield, whilst Daniel Candeias, Josh Windass and January signing Jamie Murphy will all be called upon to support lone striker Cummings in attack.

That means that Alfredo Morelos drops down to the bench tonight, with the Colombian left out amid ongoing speculation over a possible move to China this month.

Jak Alnwick, Fabio Cardoso, Andy Halliday, Greg Docherty, Joe Dodoo and Kenny Miller are also named as substitutes tonight, as Rangers look to find an away win.
