After a brutal match against Benfica earlier in the week, rotation might be in the works.
Philippe Clement’s options are limited as he attempts to maintain the magic in his pursuit of a Treble.
Rangers had a good result against Benfica last week, and this weekend is all about the Scottish Cup as they travel from Lisbon to Leith to play Hibs in the afternoon. Nick Montgomery’s team is playing well and is hoping to pull off an upset against the Gers, who appear to be in desperate need of both Oscar Cortes and Todd Cantwell in addition to long-term absences Danilo and Abdallah Sima.
The terrible irony is that, with Dujon Sterling starting wide against Benfica, all of those injuries have occurred in similar situations. The good news is that Ross McCausland could start today because he was able to play off the bench in that game. Cole McKinnon, a 21-year-old who made his debut in midweek off the bench, might also have a role? Though it’s improbable, he might start.
Predicted Rangers XI
Although John Lundstram suffered a painful one in Lisbon, he ought to be ready to depart this afternoon. However, considering his previous injury problems, Tom Lawrence is one player who might be rested in any midfield reorganisation.
