Rangers vs St Johnstone starting XI – Clement makes two changes as Hagi on bench

Philippe Clement has named his Rangers starting XI to face St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership this evening (Sunday; kick-off 8pm).

The Ibrox side host the Perthshire outfit just a few days after Thursday's UEFA Europa League defeat to Olympique Lyonnais, with the manager making two changes to the team that lost 4-1 in Govan in midweek.

St Johnstone, on the other hand, enter tonight's match with new manager Simo Valakari appointed - although Andy Kirk and Alex Cleland remain in charge for the match at Ibrox.. In their previous run-out, the Saints lost 6-0 to Celtic at McDiarmid Park last weekend.

As for Rangers, Jack Butland starts in goal, with James Tavernier, Robin Propper, John Souttar and Jefte across the back.

In front of them sits Mohamed Diomande, Nico Raskin and Nedim Bajrami, with Vacla Cerny, Ross McCausland and Cyriel Dessers filling out Clement's attacking third.
