Glasgow Rangers return to Ibrox this weekend looking to get back to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership.

Steven Gerrard, Manager of Rangers looks on during the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park Stadium on September 2, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers return to Scottish Premiership action this weekend when they host Dundee at Ibrox with Steven Gerrard’s men looking to bounce back from their first defeat since the Englishman was given the Gers job in the summer.

The international break may have been a frustrating one for Gerrard given that he had to dwell on the Old Firm loss, and it also saw several of his players go off with their respective countries.

The break itself may perhaps tempt Gerrard to make a couple of changes from the last team that he selected. And perhaps the biggest omission could involve Alfredo Morelos.

Morelos was called into the Colombia squad for the first time, and the travelling involved may possibly encourage Gerrard to leave the striker on the bench and hand Kyle Lafferty the chance to lead the line after Northern Ireland’s two home games – the second of which he did not feature in.

There will be some Rangers fans who will be desperate to see Eros Grezda make his debut following his £2 million move to Ibrox – fee reported by The Scottish Sun. But with the winger sent home from international duty to an injury and the fact that he has hardly played in recent months, it would probably not be a shock if he was also left on the bench against the Dee.

That could perhaps mean that Daniel Candeias gets the chance to make his first league start of the season as part of a front three that also includes Ryan Kent. But there are likely to be plenty of Gers supporters that would like to see Glenn Middleton given a chance sooner rather than later after a positive international break for the youngster.

With that in mind, here is how we expect Rangers to line up on Saturday…
