Rangers’ only concern will be reaching to the final, even though they are aware of who they might face.
Hearts are in the way of new Ibrox coach Philippe Clement and a place in the Viaplay Cup final against Aberdeen next month. On Saturday, Bojan Miovski helped the Dons defeat Hibs 1-0. After leading the Light Blues to the national stadium with victories over Morton and Livingston, their former coach Michael Beale is out of the picture and may lead them to a final in just five games.
Steven Naismith has Hearts ambitions of his own though and will be keen to quench the Tynecastle thirst for silverware with a cup that has proven elusive in Gorgie. John Souttar won’t run out against his former side, while Nicolas Raskin, Kemar Roofe and Rabbi Matondo are also out of the game in Mount Florida. Tom Lawrence could return to the Rangers fold.
A 5-0 romp over Dundee midweek got new signings like Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers on the scoresheet, while masked hero Danilo is proving a hit with fans. But he’s only recently back from injury and another start may push him to the limit if selected. Who will be in the starting XI and squad for Rangers? We take a look
