Rangers v St Johnstone – Team news confirmed, Clement makes striker decision, Cortes starts.
Midweek saw Rangers lose the opportunity to take the lead in the Scottish Premiership, and Philippe Clement would have expected to play St Johnstone this afternoon and win the match.
In an attempt to return the Scottish Premiership title to Ibrox, the Glasgow manager is determined to take each game as it comes, and his team has adopted this philosophy.
In the past, Rangers have faced challenges at McDiarmid Park, and they have chosen this team to defeat St Johnstone.
Rangers v St Johnstone – Team news confirmed
Jack Butland, who was hardly there during our match against Ross County, would have been incensed at the goal we gave up and would be praying for an even more quiet afternoon today.
Although Clement has never focused on the task at hand, the manager has selected his players with an eye toward Tuesday’s crucial matchup against Hearts at home.
After having to wait for his face mask to be installed and adjusted, Leon Balogun is back to full fitness, and John Souttar deserves a break after performing poorly in County’s goal.
Philippe Clement had a decision to make in midfield because, while Todd Cantwell and John Lundstram appear to have the number six and ten duties down pat, it is debatable who fills the second deeper slot.
St Johnstone is one of the more rugged Premiership sides, but they are not likely to play an expansive and open style of play.
Although Tom Lawrence and Ryan Jack have been switching roles lately, the manager faced a difficult decision because Mohamed Diomande, Dujon Sterling, and Nicolas Raskin were all available.
Diomande has a great chance to demonstrate why the club invited him.
With Rabbi Matondo out for the foreseeable future, the front line isn’t as well-stocked; however, Oscar Cortes was signed in January.
Having two goal-scoring attackers is also a nice perk, and Rangers have selected the following lineup to take on St Johnstone:
While obtaining three points is essential, maintaining the recent success of our speed and energy will be crucial.
