Rangers squad revealed for Celtic clash as Alfredo Morelos absence leaves Gio van Bronckhorst with one huge call

It's make or break for Rangers on Sunday as Gio van Bronckorst and his team get ready for a clash at Ibrox that could define their league season.

So it's not exactly the time for your top scorer to suffer a worrying injury – but there are other options aside from Alfredo Morelos.

Van Bronckhorst may turn to Kemar Roofe or Fashion Sakala to lead the line against Celtic and they'll need to bring their shooting boots if they are to fire Gers back towards the top of the table.

Meanwhile Amad Diallo could also return from the cold as he looks to make an impact at the top end of the pitch.

Elsewhere on the pitch a big call will need to be made over Aaron Ramsey.

He has the quality and experience that could make the difference on a big occasion like this but has the Juventus loanee earned a start over the likes of John Lundstram, Glen Kamara or Ryan Jack?

Aside from absentees Morelos and Ianis Hagi, Van Bronckhorst says he has a "complete" squad - with James Sands the only other doubt as he returns from USA duty.

The manager said: "This is the first time we are complete. Only James Sands is coming back this afternoon from his stay with the United States.

"All the players came back fit and the only injuries we have for Sunday is (Ianis) Hagi and (Alfredo) Morelos but all the other players are available to feature."

Predicted Rangers XI

Kamara could assume the No.10 position instead but Van Bronckhorst has plenty of options and may instead plump for the star power of Ramsey, who can tuck in from the right or interchange with Aribo in the No.10 slot.

Up top, Roofe started the February clash when Morelos was away on international duty, though Sakala is an option and Diallo is something of a wildcard.
