Rangers fans have been reacting as Alfredo Morelos makes the starting XI against Hibs and Kemar Roofe misses out through injury.
Colombian firebrand Morelos hit a double in Gibraltar as the Gers dumped the Lincoln Red Imps 5-0 in the Victoria Stadium.
But it wasn’t to be as successful a day for £3.5m summer signing Roofe who was subbed off in the first half with a suspected calf problem.
Morelos has now been recalled to the starting XI for the first time since the 3-0 win against St. Johnstone in mid-August.
On-form Ryan Kent also returns to the side after missing the tie in Gibraltar whilst Jon McLaughlin retains his Scottish Premiership place after missing out against the Red Imps.
Steven Davis and Filip Helander are also recalled.
Here’s how the Rangers fans reacted to Steve Gerrard’s line-up as the Gers prepare to face off against Hibs at Easter Road.

Meanwhile, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has been speaking about the need for reinforcements as his squad feels a raft of injuries over the last few weeks.
The likes of Ryan Jack and Joe Aribo have come down with knocks leaving an already thin Ibrox midfield even thinner, as evident by the bench v Hibs.
The Ibrox gaffer is in the hunt for a player who can add to both defensive and offensive areas of the pitch.
“In the midfield area, I feel we’re slightly stretched,” said Gerrard, as quoted by the Daily Record.
“I’m sure we’ll be fine for the weekend but I’d like to have another in – the right player who will improve the team and take us forward.”
“Good midfielders can do both jobs [offensive and defensive].
