Philippe Clement will want to continue the momentum picked up in wins over St Mirren and Hearts this week as Rangers take on Dundee.
A welcome return to Ibrox for the Gers boss will probably see a bit of rotation in the squad given the size of the two games to come over the next seven days.
Three points is obviously a must this afternoon for Rangers and this is who the manager has picked to get the job done against Dundee.
Rangers v Dundee – team news announced
Clement spoke this week about the current injury problems and how he has never seen anything like the current situation he is facing.
Just as one player returns to full health, another seems to join the queue for the treatment room.
This week it has been two key players in Tom Lawrence and Danilo who now won’t be seen until January at the earliest.
There is also a question mark at left-back with Borna Barisic missing the trip to Tynecastle and then Dujon Sterling impressing when he came off the bench for Ridan Yilmaz.
At centre-half, Leon Balogun has been outstanding of late but isn’t available for mid-week so the Rangers manager had to decide whether to risk him against Dundee or rest him for the Viaplay Cup final.
This is the team that he has gone with:
Jack Butland, James Tavernier, Borna Barisic, Leon Balogun, John Souttar, John Lundstram, Jose Cifuentes, Abdallah Sima, Todd Cantwell, Rabbi Matondo, Cyriel Dessers
The performances in the last two games haven’t got the scorelines that they deserve and it would be a good time to get a confidence booster.
For now though, all thoughts of Real Betis and Aberdeen will need to be put to one side though with three points all that matters.
