"I said it's one thing when I came in, that we had to be flexible in terms of the way we approach different teams and certainly we are going to do that today.

"A couple of players have come into the starting XI through injury, what I've said to them is they need to grab the opportunity with both hands because it is a squad game.

Confirmed Rangers starting XI: Butland, Tavernier, Sterling, Souttar, Jefte, Barron, Diomande, Raskin, Cerny, Igamane, Dessers.

Subs: Kelly, Propper, Cortes, Bajrami, Balogun, Hagi, McCausland, Curtis, Danilo.
