On Friday morning, Steven Gerrard and Glenn Middleton appeared for a pre-match press conference.
In the opening stages, the manager confirmed some team news, as quoted by the official Rangers Twitter account.
Wes Foderingham will start against St Johnstone.
The 28-year-old has been almost a permanent fixture on the bench all season.
So far, he only has four appearances to his name, in comparison to 37 over the course of last season.
He was a consistent performer for Rangers in recents years, but the return of Allan McGregor in the summer, relegated him to backup.
This opportunity arises because of the two-match retrospective suspension picked up by McGrgeor, after an incident in the victory over Aberdeen.

Despite his lack of game time, the manager is confident he will do well.
“Wes will play tomorrow, we have full trust in him as he plays at a high standard”, said Gerrard as quoted by the Rangers Twitter account.
“We benefit from having two number 1s.”
It’s a rare, but considerable opportunity for Foderingham to impress.
This news also suggests that Andy Firth will be on the bench.
The 22-year-old former Liverpool youth team goalkeeper signed for the club in January, but until now, hasn’t featured in a match day squad.
