Michael Beale believes any of his three Rangers goalkeepers could be the team's number one choice.
And in that vein the Light Blues boss surprised many by dropping veteran Allan McGregor to the bench for the visit to Dundee United with second-choice Jon McLaughlin given the nod from the off. It was a call that Beale's predecessor in Gio Van Bronckhorst made regularly at the start of the season before reinstating McGregor as the number one.
The Englishman made a number of changes for his side's trip to Tannadice with Alfredo Morelos also dropped to the substitutes and returning Antonio Colak given a chance from the start. The Light Blues will be looking to cut the gap back on leaders Celtic who have a twelve point advantage after seeing off Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Beale explained to RangersTV: "Antonio was in fine form before his injury so let's hope he hits the ground running. I think Dundee United will go for us. They've been in good form but we need to be ruthless in the final third and take our opportunities when they come.
"Jon has been training ever so well. We have three goalkeepers that could all be the No1. Allan's had the shirt of late, I just felt this game was perfect for Jon to come in.
"I'm looking for a better start than the last game. We will need a fantastic attitude and good energy. Then we have to produce the quality once the first two things are achieved."
