Rangers starting XI: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Helander, Bassey; Jack, Davis, Aribo; Hagi, Kent, Defoe.

Rangers substitutes: McLaughlin, Balogun, Barisic, Kamara, Arfield, Jones, Itten, Morelos, Roofe.

Rangers are back in league action today as they host Livingston at Ibrox, just days after beating Standard Liege 2-0 in the Europa League.

Steven Gerrard has made some changes for today’s game to keep his squad fresh, but Allan McGregor keeps his place in goal ahead of Jon McLaughlin.

James Tavernier and Connor Goldson keep their places in defence, but Filip Helander and youngster Calvin Bassey come into the back line this afternoon.

Joe Aribo makes his return to the starting lineup, joining Ryan Jack and Steven Davis in midfield as Glen Kamara and Scott Arfield are rested.

Ianis Hagi and Ryan Kent start in attack, supporting Jermain Defoe as the veteran makes a rare start in the Rangers attack.

That means Alfredo Morelos drops to the bench this afternoon, whilst Kemar Roofe is also a substitute despite his stunning goal against Standard.

Leon Balogun, Borna Barisic, Jordan Jones and Cedric Itten join McLaughlin, Kamara, Arfield, Morelos and Roofe on the bench today.
