Swap Ridvan for Borna and Sterling for Jack and that’s the starting XI.Butland
Tav Goldson Balogun Ridvan
Lundstram Sterling
McCausland Cantwell Matondo
Silva
With minutes off the bench for Diamonde (and very unlikely Cortes).
Wouldn't be upset if Lawrence played instead of Cantwell.
Above is a combination of what I expect plus a couple of what I'd like to see.
I was thinking to put Borna in. Unless Ridvan is added to Euro squad Borna needs to be kept match sharp.Swap Ridvan for Borna and Sterling for Jack and that’s the starting XI.
Hopefully see game time for Cortes and Dio as well.
Would like to se a big win, but 2-0 would do.
What I wanna see this weekend:Any win by 4 or more goals, no injuries and new guys get a few minutes on the park - I'm Happy.
I agree and feel this is going to be Rangers at their imperious best.I’d love us to flex our muscles here. 5-0.
Cortes and Diomande?Hoping for a comprehensive win. First game for the kids today.
Would prefer Lawrence to Cantwell. The show pony has been a liability this season and unless he improves dramatically will be away come the summer.Butland

Absolute nonsense.Would prefer Lawrence to Cantwell. The show pony has been a liability this season and unless he improves dramatically will be away come the summer.
Feel free to elaborate. Can't think of a single game where he has been the difference but there's been more than a few where he's been hooked.Absolute nonsense.
Hasn’t he just scored 3 goals in his last 5 games?Would prefer Lawrence to Cantwell. The show pony has been a liability this season and unless he improves dramatically will be away come the summer.
You think his goal return is good?Hasn’t he just scored 3 goals in his last 5 games?
The fact he’s a mainstay in the starting 11 every week is pretty indicative that he won’t be “away by the summer.”Feel free to elaborate. Can't think of a single game where he has been the difference but there's been more than a few where he's been hooked.
Disagree. The fact he's a mainstay is a reflection of the abysmal legacy of Beale's squad. I'm sure I could negate his massive goal tally of 3 with at least 3 goals scored against us where his show pony antics have cost us goals against. Gives that ball away cheaply far too often and often in areas where it can hurt us.The fact he’s a mainstay in the starting 11 every week is pretty indicative that he won’t be “away by the summer.”
I’m reluctant to appraise his early season performances given most were under Beale where we had no attacking structure, followed by Clement playing him out right in the beginning.
As another poster has just highlighted, his 3 goals in his past 5 games and almost all of his performances last season point to a player who is effective when deployed in his actual position.

Cortes has had 90 minutes recently and has been training so expect him to start ti get him bedded in immediately.
Diomande has had recent illness and with danish break hasn’t played or possibly even trained much this last 2 months or so so will need longer to get march ready, dont expect to see him until ayr united in the cup.
No point playing sterling at home to livi so he will be kept for aberdeen.
Although wont be totally shocked if clement try’s to fit both dessers and silva into starting 11 with either mcausland or Cantwell dropping to bench.
It is recently, which is kind of my point.You think his goal return is good?
