Danny Rohl will be forced into making changes as Rangers take on Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership.

With Ryan Naderi injured and the possibility of five Rangers being ruled out, Rohl has a major selection dilemma on his hands.

He may have to rely on his fringe players to get the job done, but despite the injuries, the Light Blues are predicted to beat Falkirk.

Connor Barron could get rare start for Rangers

Connor Barron, who hasn’t started a game since January, could be thrown into the eleven by Rohl.

The German would not want to change the midfield duo of Nicolas Raskin and Tochi Chukwuani, so he could ask Barron to play ahead of them to wreak havoc in the final third.

Naderi is ruled out, so Youssef Chermiti comes in for him, making him the second change.

As Moore may also be unavailable, Rohl could turn to Djeidi Gassama to play on the left with Thelo Aasgaard on the right.

In defence, Emmanuel Fernandez is expected to come back into the eleven and will play alongside Nasser Djiga.

James Tavernier could also replace Dujon Sterling at right-back, giving Rangers more going forward from the full-back position.

Danny Rohl is expected to play a 4-2-3-1 system against Falkirk…

How Rohl is expected to approach the Falkirk clash

Falkirk do not go into this game in the best of form and, despite home advantage, are the underdogs.

Rohl will surely not take this one for granted, given the number of injuries, and it could be a different approach.

He may turn to Tavernier and Jayden Meghoma to offer width and to constantly attack and look to overlap the wingers.

Rangers could go for a more direct approach rather than the patient possession one they have had in the last few weeks.

It is important to get the three points more than a good performance and go into the split in the right frame of mind.

A small vacation would be ideal as a number of players have been pushed to the limit and need a few days away from the training pitch.

Hopefully, Gers pick up the three points and build towards something special.
