In preparation for this afternoon’s crucial Scottish Premiership match against Celtic, Rangers manager Philippe Clement has finalized his squad and substitutes. The pressure is on as Rangers trail their city rivals by three points in the league standings with only three games remaining.
While many believe a victory over Celtic is necessary to keep their title hopes alive, Clement remains calm, maintaining that the outcome of this match is not a make-or-break situation. Unfortunately, Clement is still missing some key players, including the injured Connor Goldson.
For today’s game, Rangers will have Jack Butland guarding the goal, with James Tavernier, John Souttar, Ben Davies, and Borna Barisic forming the defensive line. In midfield, John Lundstram and Mohammed Diomande will be tasked with controlling the game, supported by Tom Lawrence, Dujon Sterling, and Fabio Silva. Up top, Cyriel Dessers will lead the attacking line.
Should the need arise, Clement has a strong bench to choose from, including Todd Cantwell, Kemar Roofe, and Scott Wright. The Rangers lineup against Celtic is as follows:
Starting XI:
Butland, Tavernier, Davies, Souttar, Barisic, Lundstram, Diomande, Lawrence, Sterling, Silva, Dessers
Substitutes:
McCrorie, Yilmaz, Cantwell, Dowell, Wright, Roofe, King, Raskin, McCausland.
