Philippe Clement names Rangers team to face Motherwell as Vaclav Cerny returns

Philippe Clement has named his Rangers side for today's Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Motherwell. 

Celtic blew aside Aberdeen in a 6-0 hammering on Saturday, now these two will compete for the opportunity to face the Hoops in the final next month. 

The Rangers manager has opted for two changes from Wednesday's demoralising loss at Aberdeen as Vaclav Cerny and Jefte return to the starting XI.

Jack Butland lines-up in goals, supported by a back line consisting of James Tavernier, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, and Jefte. In midfield, Connor Barron, Nico Raskin, and Tom Lawrence form the trio, while Vaclav Cerny returns to the attack, partnering with Nedim Bajrami and Cyriel Dessers.

Meanwhile, Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell also makes two alterations from their 2-1 win over Dundee United in midweek.
