Rangers starting XI: McLaughlin; Tavernier, Goldson, Bassey, Barisic; Zungu, Arfield, Hagi; Barker, Itten, Defoe.

Rangers substitutes: Firth, Balogun, Kamara, Stewart, Middleton, Dickson, King, Kent, Morelos.

Rangers are back in action today as they take on Falkirk in the Scottish League Cup.

The Gers saw Celtic lose 2-0 to Ross County this afternoon, and will be desperate to avoid a similar nightmare.

Jon McLaughlin starts in goal with Allan McGregor given the day off, whilst James Tavernier and Borna Barisic are the full backs as usual.

Calvin Bassey is handed a start at centre back alongside Connor Goldson, whilst Bongani Zungu starts in midfield.

It could be a 4-3-3 with Scott Arfield and Ianis Hagi in the centre with Zungu, or 4-4-2 with Hagi and Brandon Barker on the flanks.

Cedric Itten and Jermain Defoe both start, with Itten either out wide or playing up top with Defoe in a dangerous combination.

Youngsters Ciaran Dickson and Leon King are both on the bench, alongside Andy Firth, Leon Balogun, Glen Kamara, Greg Stewart, Glenn Middleton, Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos.
