Rangers take on Hibernian this afternoon in the first home league fixture of the 2019/20 season.
The Gers should be entering the game high on confidence after an opening day win at Kilmarnock and an excellent Europa League Qualifying result away at Midtjylland on Thursday.
Hibernian have also started well, though, recording an opening day victory over St Mirren. Scott Allan scored the decisive goal last weekend, and Paul Heckingbottom’s side are likely to have a go at Ibrox.
Steven Gerrard was always likely to make a few alterations for this fixture, with it falling just three days after the Europa League qualifier.
Steven Davis was a surprise exclusion from the starting lineup in Denmark, and he returns to the heart of the midfield for this one. As a result, Glen Kamara drops out of the squad entirely.

Elsewhere, Scott Arfield drops out despite scoring on Thursday night, with Liverpool loanee Sheyi Ojo returning to the XI. He’ll be hoping to rediscover his momentum, following a disappointing showing at Rugby Park last weekend.
Up top, Alfredo Morelos makes way for Jermain Defoe, who gets his first Premiership appearance of the season.
Jon Flanagan continues at left-back, with Andy Halliday making the bench as full-back cover. It means there’s no place in the squad for Borna Barisic.
