Lee Hodson scored in Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers’ last fixture against Aberdeen.

Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton has suggested that Lee Hodson has made him re-think his starting line-up.

James Tavernier has been a permanent inclusion in Rangers’ first choice team, ever since Warburton took charge back in 2015.

However, the former Wigan Athletic right-back was left out of Rangers’ line-up in their last match against Aberdeen and his replacement, Hodson, impressed.

Hodson scored Rangers’ second goal in their 2-1 victory over the Dons, and he looked comfortable throughout the fixture.

Warburton has credited Hodson for his performance, and he admits that Tavernier is now facing a fight to win his place back.

Hodson seems likely to start in Rangers’ next match, which comes against Hearts at the weekend.

If Rangers can beat The Jambos, who will be managed by Ian Cathro for the first time during the contest, they will ensure that they consolidate their position in second place in the Scottish Premiership table.
