How many transfers do Rangers really need to compete with Celtic next season? Saturday Jury

Steve Clarke shook things up against Armenia but who should get the nod tonight in the positions up for debate?

Craig Swan: Anthony Ralston has done enough to keep his spot at right-back. The team functioned well against Armenia. No need to change.

Andy Newport: Che Adams hasn’t scored in 15 games for club or country so Ross Stewart deserves a start after his 26-goal haul for Sunderland.

I’d expect Tony Ralston, John Souttar and Scott McKenna to retain their places with Billy Gilmour returning.

Michael Gannon: I liked the back three the other night as it had a good mix of brawn and ball players.

Anthony Ralston also deserves to keep his place and Clarke can’t really experiment as the Nations League might be crucial for us.

Ireland don't look any great shakes, should Scotland go on the offensive?

CS: What is being offensive? Playing two strikers? That is not offensive, it doesn’t work. Scotland will play on the front foot. That’s offensive.

AN: Absolutely. We haven’t won enough games on the road down the years and it’s about time we developed a ruthless streak.

Stephen Kenny is under huge pressure and Scotland should be looking to turn the screw on him.

MG: Ireland are there for the taking. They are honking right now.

Scotland are at their best under Clarke when they go full tilt like the Denmark game. Let’s get wired in and stick another three points on the board.

What do you make of Charlie Nicholas' claim Rangers need up to six new players to compete with Celtic?

CS: Not a lot. There was very little between the teams last season. It won’t take six signings to change it.

AN: It’s a bit over the top. Rangers were not that far away and the effects of fighting on four fronts did for them.

If they keep the likes of Kent and Morelos then it will only take a couple of strong additions to ensure another nip-and-tuck title fight.

MG: It seems a lot given they were not far off last season but there might be something in it.

Celtic will be stronger and if there are two or three key exits from Ibrox they’ll need to get busy. Five first-team ready signings may not be a stretch.

The LIV tour has caused chaos in the world of golf, but where is the game heading on the back of this split?

CS: This day has been coming for golf for a long time. The Tours just have to stay strong. They still have the strength with the best and youngest players.

AN: Like football, cash is king and the players will follow the trail of the green stuff. In the end a compromise of some sort will have to be thrashed out.

MG: To No Man’s Land. There will be more defections from the PGA Tour and you suspect this is the beginning of the end for the traditional structure.

The PGA are rightly panicking as a lot of players will sign up for less tournaments and more money.
