Danny Röhl has made three changes to his starting eleven for today’s Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden Park.
Following Wednesday night’s 1-0 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road in the Scottish Premiership, the Rangers head coach has named captain James Tavernier, Mohamed Diomande and Thelo
Aasgaard in his team for the Old Firm showdown at the national stadium, with Max Aarons and Mikey Moore dropping to the bench and Connor Barron suspended.
This afternoon’s pressure-cooker contest will give Röhl his first taste of a derby in Glasgow and the German will be hoping his side can build on their back-to-back league victories over Kilmarnock and the Hibees.
After his crucial penalty save in midweek, Jack Butland will again be a key player for the Light Blues between the posts today and in front of the club’s number one is a back three of Nasser Djiga, John Souttar and Derek Cornelius.
The midfield four will consist of Tavernier, Nicolas Raskin, Diomande and Jayden Meghoma with Thelo Aasgaard and Danilo supporting main striker Youssef Chermiti in the last third of the pitch.
Joining Aarons and Moore on the Gers bench are Liam Kelly, Emmanuel Fernandez, Joe Rothwell, Oliver Antman, Djeidi Gassama, Findlay Curtis and Bojan Miovski.
