Rangers predicted XI with a significant Scottish Cup deviation as Philippe Clement considers balancing act.
Philippe Clement is already a fan favourite at Ibrox, but he will have to strike a balance against Ayr United.
Philippe Clement’s impact may be summed up in one word: ‘Treble’.
The Rangers’ fanbase’s belief in a domestic clean sweep is a tribute to their rejuvenation effort, though the straight-shooting manager is unlikely to say it out loud. In October, Michael Beale’s side suffered their third Premiership defeat in seven games, making it difficult to believe.
However, Clement and Rangers have the Viaplay Cup secured, are smack bang in the Premiership title fight, and are a victory over Ayr.
United are a step away from reaching the Scottish Cup’s last eight. But the Honest Men’s boss is Scott Brown, and the Celtic hero will be hell-bent to cause the hosts anguish.
How will the Rangers line up? Clement has options, and he expects to build a club based on opportunities. Scott Wright, Nico Raskin, and Borna Barisic appear to be ready to start, while Fabio Silva’s cameo against Aberdeen was so good that he will most likely be kept on the bench again.
