Could Steven Gerrard give Jon Flanagan a Rangers recall?

Rangers vies with Oliver manager Steven Gerrard is seen during the Ladbrokes Premier League match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on March 31, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers have a selection dilemma at left-back this week.

Borna Barisic is battling an injury suffered on international duty, while Andy Halliday is suspended.

This leaves Steven Gerrard stuck for options.

He has shown little willingness to involve Lee Wallace this season, raising the possibility of a rare appearance for Jon Flanagan.

Signed as a free agent in the summer, Flanagan has been a disappointment.

Jon Flanagan of Rangers controls the ball during the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Play Off match between Rangers and FC Ufa at Ibrox Stadium on August 23, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

A poor loan spell at Bolton last season suggested it could be a risky move, but Steven Gerrard took a gamble on his ex-teammate.

Capable of playing at left-back or right-back, Flanagan has not impressed for Rangers when given the opportunity.

His last game came back in January against lower league Cowdenbeath.

Now this week against Hearts, perhaps he will get one last chance to show what he is capable of.
