Rangers Predicted XI vs Ross County

Add as preferred source on Google

Rangers travel to Ross County on Sunday looking to consolidate their position at the top of the Premiership table and to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 25 matches.

It’s been an outstanding start to the season for the Gers, while the Staggies have largely struggled.

Stuart Kettlewell’s side are currently ninth in the league with just three wins from their opening 15 matches and the second-worst goal difference in the top-flight.

However, their confidence will have been significantly boosted by a 2-0 triumph at Celtic Park last weekend.

Rangers are set to be without Ryan Jack for the game due to a muscle injury, while Filip Helander is self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19.

Yet, Steven Gerrard still has a strong squad to choose from and we think he’ll opt for an almost identical starting XI to the one that faced Standard Liege at Ibrox on Thursday night.

Allan McGregor will retain his place in goal, while the back four is likely to consist of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Leon Balogun and Borna Barisic.

In midfield, Scott Arfield and Steven Davis are likely to keep their places, but in our only predicted change, Glen Kamara makes way for Joe Aribo.

Kamara is in good form and has been an ever-present for Rangers in Europe but he’s only featured in one of the last four Premiership matches, while Aribo returned from a minor illness for a substitute appearance against Standard and would bring a greater attacking threat from midfield.

In the final third, Alfredo Morelos is likely to continue despite failing to score in his last three matches, while he should be supported by Kemar Roofe and Ryan Kent.
