Breaking News:2/10 star dropped & Propper starts: Rangers predicted lineup vs Dynamo
Glasgow Rangers are already on the back foot in the Premiership title race after dropping two crucial points in their first match of the season.
A 0-0 draw against Hearts at Tynecastle will hopefully give Philippe Clement a major wakeup call with regard to strengthening his squad, as several members of the starting XI are clearly nowhere near the required standard at Ibrox.
The Belgian has no time to refocus as Rangers take to the Champions League qualifiers to face Dynamo Kiev in the first leg on Tuesday evening.
Rangers will have to rapidly improve if they are to claim a positive result against the Ukrainians. Qualifying for a spot in the newly revamped competition will see a major financial reward injected into the club.
No pressure then, but Clement will clearly be making a few changes to his team as a big test awaits in Poland during the first leg.
Here’s the predicted starting XI Football FanCast are expecting to take to the field on Tuesday evening…
Butland was impressive against Hearts, making some impressive stops to prevent the Jambos from scoring and claiming all three points.
It looks like he is starting this term like he did last, in the form of his life. Long may it continue. Clement now needs the rest of the starting XI to step up and bring the same level of performance as Butland.
With the tie likely to be fairly tight, the ‘keeper could make all the difference whether Rangers can secure a positive result or not.
The captain didn’t exactly have the best of games last weekend. Not only did he fail to score or grab an assist, but Tavernier managed to lose possession a staggering 26 times during the game, showing how poor he was in possession.
Dujon Sterling missed the Hearts tie due to injury but should be back for the clash against Kiev. He will likely start on the bench, but if Tavernier delivers another poor display, he could be called upon sooner rather than later.
