Philippe Clement names Rangers side for St Johnstone clash

Philippe Clement has named his Rangers team to take on St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.

The Ibrox side have the opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table to just two points if they win this one after Celtic's recent defeat against Hearts.

Clement's men are coming off a 14-game unbeaten run since he took over in October, including lifting the League Cup on Sunday for the first time in 12 years.

RANGERS XI: Butland, Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Yilmaz, Lundstram, Dowell, Lammers, McCausland, Sima, Roofe

SUBS: McCrorie, Dessers, Cantwell, Matondo, Sterling, Wright, Balogun, Barisic, King

ST JOHNSTONE XI: Mitov, Franczak, Olufunwa, Gordon, Considine, Robinson, Sprangler, Phillips, Smith, Kucheriavyi, Jaiyesimi

SUBS: Richards, Gallacher, McGowan, May, Kane, Clark, Carey, Turner Cooke, Costelloe

The Belgian also provided an injury update ahead of the fixture. He said: "No players will return who were not involved in the cup final on Sunday. There are no other players coming back.

"I don't have a timescale on Jose Cifuentes, but a few days ago we were told it would be worse, but he has had a good reaction to treatment.

"I hope he can be back for the winter break. Ryan Jack we will see if he can be back for the winter break also."
