Some Rangers fans want Steven Gerrard to call up young Gers players – including a right-back – for Wednesday’s visit to Ibrox of Hamilton Academical.

Rangers’ regular in the role, James Tavernier, has come in for some criticism of late, but has continued to play as captain.

And the following Bears are keen to see Nathan Petterson given further opportunities after the teenager impressed on his debut against Stranraer in January.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patterson, who signed for Rangers as an eight-year-old, recently signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract at Ibrox.

The Scot was reported to be interesting Gerrard’s former club, Liverpool, before he committed.

And speaking to Rangers News last month, the Gers academy boss Graeme Murty described Patterson as having ‘characteristics you would ascribe to an elite-level full-back’.

Matt Polster and Jon Flanagan are the other players Gerrard could consider if he opts to make changes in midweek.

Rangers can not afford to lose further ground on Premiership leaders Celtic and will be keen to bounce back after Saturday’s Scottish Cup defeat against Hearts.
