Giovanni van Bronckhorst names Rangers team to face Hearts in Scottish Cup final

Giovanni van Bronckhorst names Rangers team to face Hearts in Scottish Cup final

GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has named his Rangers team to face Hearts in the Scottish Cup final this afternoon. 

The Dutchman has understandably gone with as strong a line-up as possible, as the Light Blues aim to make up for Wednesday night's Europa League heartache against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Changes to the team include Jon McLaughlin starting in goals in place of Allan McGregor, who could retire from football after today's game. 

Steven Davis also starts the match alongside John Lundstram and Scott Arfield in midfield. 

Amad Diallo starts in the frontline, with Scott Wright on the bench along with Kemar Roofe and Fashion Sakala. 

Leon Balogun also comes into the starting XI for the injured Borna Barisic. 

RANGERS XI: McLaughlin, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Bassey, Davis, Lundstram, Arfield, Aribo, Kent, Diallo.

Subs: McGregor, King, Jack, Ramsey, Kamara, Sands, Lowry, Itten, Wright, Roofe, Sakala.

HEARTS XI: Gordon, Kingsley, Souttar, Haring, Boyce, Atkinson, Devlin, Cochrane, McKay, Halkett, Simms.

Subs: Stewart, Smith, McEneff, Woodburn, Mackay-Steven, Moore, Halliday, Sibbick, Ginnelly.
