The Ibrox side head north in another must-win Scottish Premiership encounter.
Rangers have a tricky test tonight in the Scottish Premiership, travelling to Dingwall to face Ross County in a big live TV match.
Navigating this heavy schedule is something Steven Gerrard’s side have coped well with in recent weeks. A trip to Portugal last Thursday night was followed up with a narrow win against Motherwell.
Tonight, victory by any means necessary will again be the big aim, with Celtic expected to beat St Mirren at home.
Gerrard also has a number of injury issues to contend with in multiple positions.
So who is in line to start and who’ll miss out?
Allan McGregor is nursing an injury after landing awkwardly at the weekend, with fringe goalkeeper Wes Foderingham set to make a rare league start (The Scottish Sun).
The 28-year-old has played just five times in the Scottish Premiership since Gerrard arrived at the club.
Thankfully for the Rangers boss he has strong options to choose from across the defensive line and it seems likely that four will be James Tavernier, Filip Helander, Connor Goldson and Borna Barisic.
There have been question marks about the form and confidence of Tavernier, but the coaching staff at Ibrox have insisted on a consistent basis that he has their full backing.
In midfield Glen Kamara returns to contention after illness, with Steven Davis and Ryan Jack remaining integral members of the midfield unit.
However, Gerrard could opt to go for the more attack-minded Joe Aribo.
The attacking positions are a little more of a headache for Gerrard. Brandon Barker is a major doubt, while the club continue to manage the fitness of Ryan Kent and his hamstring issues (The Daily Record).
That means that Sheyi Ojo and Scott Arfield look the most likely to get a start.
They’ll no doubt support Alfredo Morelos. The main man at Ibrox should return to the starting lineup after missing out to Defoe at the weekend. With 15 goals and five assists already this season, he has the firepower to punish County.
Your predicted lineup in full is:
GK – Allan McGregor
RB – James Tavernier
CB – Connor Goldson
CB – Filip Helander
LB – Borna Barisic
CM – Steven Davis
CM – Ryan Jack
CM – Glen Kamara
AM – Scott Arfield
AM – Sheyi Ojo
