The Gers travel to Motherwell ahead of Sunday’s Scottish Premiership clash.
Rangers are set to embark on a crucial week in their fixture list, as they face a difficult trip to Motherwell before facing FC Ufa in Russia on Thursday and Old Firm rivals Celtic on Sunday – and fans want Andy Halliday to start this weekend.
Steven Gerrard has the difficult task of maintaining fitness levels by resting his senior squad, but also fielding a line-up that can remain competitive throughout all three matches.
It is likely that Gerrard will make changes on Sunday to give a number of his first-team stars a rest, with the likes of Scott Arfield, Ovie Ejaria and Ryan Jack being used extensively of late.
With Europa League group stage qualification a huge bonus for the stature, finances and fans of the club, Rangers will be expected to field a strong side in Russia on Thursday.
It goes without saying that Gerrard must also field a side that have the ability to cause Old Firm rivals Celtic some problems, as the former Liverpool captain looks to finally secure a win over the Hoops for the first time since Rangers gained promotion back to the top tier of Scottish football.
It should see changes take place against Motherwell, despite the Gers travelling to a difficult place in Fir Park against a side that beat Rangers last season.
Some fans are desperate to see changes in the middle of the park in order to rest Gerrard’s first-choice stars, and want 26-year-old left-footer Andy Halliday to start.
