Rangers starting XI as shock youth player thrown in for league debut

Philippe Clement has named his Rangers team to take on Dundee tonight with young Frenchman Clinton Nsiala starting in the centre of defence.

The former AC Milan starlet, who is 20, was signed on a free transfer in the summer and has been playing primarily with David McCallum's B team since.

With a combination of injuries and suspension keeping the likes of Leon Balogun and John Souttar out, there were few other options, save youth centre-back partner Leon King.

Clement will be looking to get his side back to winning ways after dropping more points in a 3-3 draw with Hibs at Easter Road on Sunday.

It leaves the Belgian with a mountain to climb in the battle with Celtic for the league title with the Parkhead club now 13 clear at the summit of the table.
