Rangers take on Hamilton Academical at Ibrox today, in the final Scottish Premiership fixture before the October international break.
Accies currently sit eighth in the table, with two wins, two draws and three defeats from their opening seven matches. Last weekend, they came from behind to beat Livingston 2-1 at home.
The Gers come into this one on the back of just their second defeat of the season – away to Young Boys in the Europa League – and given their packed recent schedule, changes were always likely.
There are three in all.
George Edmundson replaces Filip Helander as Connor Coldson’s centre-back partner, landing his first Premiership start.
In midfield, Scott Arfield drops back to cover the void left by Ryan Jack, with Greg Stewart playing in the same advanced role in which he thrived against Aberdeen.
Up top, Alfredo Morelos drops to the bench with Jermain Defoe making his first start since the Old Firm.
Joe Aribo is fit enough for a place amongst the subs, while Andy Halliday and Matt Polster return to the squad. There’s also a place in the 18 for Jamie Murphy, who hasn’t made a competitive appearance since August 2018.
Following Celtic’s horror show at Livingston, the stakes have been raised. If Rangers win, they go top.
