Arfield, who returned to action for Gers on Thursday against St Joseph’s, has missed most of the summer having been on international duty with Canada at the Gold Cup.
With Progres Niederkorn to come at Ibrox on Thursday, it’s a strong-looking XI named by Gerrard, with Allan McGregor between the sticks, and James Tavernier, Nikola Katic, George Edmundson and Borna Barisic in front of him.
Arfield is joined in midfield by Steven Davis and Ryan Jack, while Sheyi Ojo and Jordan Jones will support striker Jermain Defoe.
Its a packed bench for Gerrard this afternoon, and Filip Helander could make his debut from there later in the match.
RANGERS: McGregor; Tavernier, Katic, Edmundson, Barisic; Jack, Davis, Arfield; Jones, Ojo, Defoe.
SUBS: Firth, Helander, Murphy, Halliday, Aribo, Kamara, Morelos, Docherty, Stewart, Polster.
