We are still in August but by the end of the week Rangers will have played two matches that could both be season defining.
Michael Beale’s side welcome Celtic to Ibrox for the first Old Firm derby of the 2023/24 campaign this weekend but, before that, they have a huge trip to The Netherlands where UEFA Champions League Group Stage football will be on the line. The Gers and PSV Eindhoven played out a 2-2 draw in Glasgow last week so it’s now winner takes all at the Philips Stadion.
Here is how we at GlasgowWorld are expecting the Rangers starting XI to look for the match:
1. GK - Jack Butland
No surprises expected in goal barring any late injury issues with the former Man Utd man continuing as number one.
2. RB - James Tavernier
Equally as unlikely to be in changes at right back - Rangers fans would be in dreamland if he can score another wonder goal in this match.
3. LB - Borna Barisic
Started six of Rangers seven competitive matches so far this season and will likely continue to do so.
4. CB - John Souttar
His younger brother Harry could arrive at Ibrox before the transfer window shuts but not in time to take John’s place in the team on Wednesday.
