Rangers have confirmed their starting XI for the Scottish Premiership clash with Hibs at Ibrox.
Barry Ferguson is looking to end a record-setting run of four home games without a victory, the first time this has ever happened in Ibrox history.
The interim Rangers manager is also without a win at Ibrox since joining the club following the departure of Philippe Clement.
On top of that, Rangers will match a 131-year old record if they’re to concede two or more goals against Hibs in the Scottish Premiership.
David Gray expects ‘slight differences’ under Ferguson and here’s how the Rangers boss has lined up in Glasgow.
Rangers confirm starting XI v Hibs in Scottish Premiership
Rangers have started with Jack Butland between the sticks for the clash at Ibrox.
The Gers’ back four is made up of James Tavernier, Dujon Sterling, John Souttar and Jefte.
In the middle of the pitch, Rangers start with three midfielders, Connor Barron, Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande all getting the nod.
Vaclav Cerny passes a late fitness test to start the game at right wing with Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers completing the XI.
Rangers team to play Hibs: Butland, Tavernier, Sterling, Souttar, Jefte, Barron, Raskin, Diomande, Cerny, Igamane, Dessers
Substitutes: Kelly, Propper, Cortes, Bajrami, Balogun, Hagi, McCausland, Curtis, Danilo
Rangers fans buzzing as Vaclav Cerny returns
Naturally, the inclusion of Vaclav Cerny in the Rangers starting XI has turned heads amongst Gers fans online.
The Czech winger, 27, has scored 17 goals this season and is a key part of how Rangers play, with reports suggesting Rangers are exploring a permanent deal for Cerny.
Whilst fans were happy to see Cerny back in the XI, one supporter suggested he ‘wouldn’t have risked’ the Czech winger ahead of the clash with Athletic Bilbao.
Another has said that he would’ve liked to have seen both ‘Lawrence and Danilo given a chance’ in place of the winger after impressing in recent weeks.
But overall the return of the Celtic Park supersoaker has buoyed Rangers fans after Neil McCann shut down Brendan Rodgers’ complaints regarding Cerny earlier in the week.
