Rangers starting XI: McLaughlin; Tavernier, Goldson, Simpson, Barisic; Kamara, Davis; Wright, Hagi, Roofe; Itten.

Rangers substitutes: McGregor, Bassey, Helander, Defoe, Kent, Patterson, Aribo, Morelos, Arfield.

Rangers are in Scottish Premiership action tonight, but with the title already wrapped up, Steven Gerrard has made changes.

The Gers are still on a high after beating Celtic on Sunday, and there is now a great change for some fringe players to stake a claim.

Jon McLaughlin starts between the sticks in place of Allan McGregor, whilst Jack Simpson is in the line up having signed from Bournemouth in February.

James Tavernier returns at right back, with mainstays Connor Goldson and Borna Barisic making up the rest of the defence.

Steven Davis partners Glen Kamara in midfield, and it looks to be a 4-2-3-1 with Ianis Hagi operating as a number 10.

Scott Wright and Kemar Roofe would then play as wingers, flanking Cedric Itten in the final third.

Big names like Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos join McGregor on the bench, alongside Calvin Bassey, Filip Helander, Jermain Defoe, Nathan Patterson, Joe Aribo and Scott Arfield.
