Team News: B Team Old Firm Starting XI

DAVID McCallum has named his Rangers B side for this afternoon’s Old Firm clash in the City of Glasgow Cup at the Rangers Training Centre.

There is a mix of youth and experience in the starting lineup as John Souttar and Ridvan Yilmaz continue to build their fitness following their return from injury, while 16-year-old Bailey Rice replaces Mackenzie Strachan in midfield from Saturday afternoon’s 2-2 draw with Cumbernauld Colts in the Lowland League.

It means Lewis Budinauckas retains his place between the posts, supplementing a backline of Adam Devine, Leon King, Souttar and Ridvan.

Rice will anchor the midfield as he returns to the B Team, where he is joined by Charlie Lindsay, who netted against Partick Thistle earlier in the competition, and Arron Lyall.

In attack, Robbie Ure leads the line once again and he is flanked on either side by Zak Lovelace and Ross McCausland.

Among the substitutes for the Light Blues this afternoon are Jacob Pazikas, Connor Allan, Robbie Fraser, Lewis MacKinnon, Strachan, James Graham and Archie Stevens.

Kick-off is 3pm and you can follow live updates on our Youth Twitter account @RFC_Youth.
