Gerrard Names Team With Two Changes To Face Aberdeen

STEVEN GERRARD has named two changes to his starting XI for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership meeting with Aberdeen at Ibrox.

From the side which defeated Hamilton Accies a fortnight ago prior to the international break, out go Jon McLaughlin and Jermain Defoe, with their places taken in the XI by Allan McGregor and Alfredo Morelos.

That means it’s a back five of McGregor in goal with James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Leon Balogun and Borna Barisic in front of him.

Joe Aribo, Scott Arfield and Ryan Jack are in midfield, while up top, Ryan Kent and Kemar Roofe will support striker Morelos.

There are options once again for boss Gerrard on the subs bench – there for him today are McLaughlin, Calvin Bassey, Fil Helander, Ianis Hagi, Jermain Defoe, Steven Davis, Cedric Itten, Glen Kamara and Brandon Barker.

It’s a 12noon kick-off, and season ticket holders can watch all the action on RangersTV. Join Tom Miller and Steven Smith for full commentary, while Emma Dodds has Alex McLeish and Neil McCann alongside her in the studio.

RANGERS: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Barisic, Aribo, Jack, Arfield, Kent, Roofe, Morelos.

SUBS: McLaughlin, Bassey, Helander, Hagi, Defoe, Davis, Itten, Kamara, Barker.
