Danny Rohl could drop Mohamed Diomande from the Rangers starting eleven for the Old Firm derby against Celtic.
Diomande was in the starting eleven for the game against Hearts, and played 83 minutes before being withdrawn for Bojan Miovski.
The Ivory Coast international was deployed in the number 10 position behind Youssef Chermiti, who led the line.

Who do you see replacing him?
Mohamed Diomande’s performance against Hearts merits him being dropped from the playing eleven
Diomande had a game to forget against Hearts and it makes sense for Rohl to drop him for the derby on Sunday.
According to Sofascore, he had an accuracy of only 76 per cent with his passes completed in the final third.
For a side that was struggling to create chances, Rohl would have wanted more from one of his most advanced players in a creative role.
He also managed to complete just one of his three attempted dribbles and lost possession on 10 occasions during the game.
Even off the ball, Diomande was found lacking, and that could be one of the main reasons Rohl drops him.
The midfielder lost 50 per cent of his ground duels and had a 0 per cent success rate with his aerial duels as well.
Will Rangers sack Danny Rohl if they fail to win the league?
If he goes, who would be a good replacement for him?
What does the future hold for Diomande at Rangers?
If Rangers are to win leagues every season, Diomande is not expected to be in their strongest eleven.
While the 24-year-old has showcased his strengths and ability to make a difference, he has not been a consistent performer for the first team.
There is a chance that if the right offer arrives this summer, the Gers could look to part ways with the Ivorian.
He still has two years left on his contract at Ibrox, which ensures that the club could get decent money from his sale.
Diomande was signed in excess of £4.3m back in January 2024, and it remains to be seen if the Gers can sell him for close to that amount.
While his performances have not merited that kind of transfer fee, if there is growing interest in his services, Rangers could look to hike his price.
