Katic and Candeias to return for Rangers against Livingston?

It’s fair to say it’s back to the drawing board for Steven Gerrard, ahead of Sunday’s trip to Livingston.
After a major switch of tactics in midweek, neither the performance nor the result, were good enough.

Two Rangers players may be in line to benefit from those circumstances, though.
Nickola Katic and Daniel Candeias.
Katic hasn’t started a game since November, so he is well overdue an opportunity.

With Connor Goldson ruled out and both Joe Worrall and Gareth McAuley putting in poor displays at Rugby Park, surely now is the time to get the big Croatian back in the side. 
The fans want him back so much, they’ve launched a campaign on social media.

Daniel Candeias should surely be in the frame for a return, too.

He was unfortunate to be left out for Killie, after contributing to the Old Firm win, and the Gers missed the width he offers.

The Portuguese is far from prolific, but did grab the opener against this opposition at Ibrox, back in November.
Candeias failed to make an impression during 20 minutes as a substitute, on Wednesday evening.
Yet, if the manager opts to revert to type with his formation, expect to see him return to the line up, with a point to prove.
