Michael Beale has named his Rangers side to face St Mirren as he aims for an immediate response after last week's defeat to Celtic.
The Light Blues gaffer is without key players including Connor Goldson, Ryan Kent and Ryan Jack as competition hots up for places with the Scottish Cup semi-final showdown with the Hoops just a couple of weeks away. The clash with the Buddies and next week's meeting with red-hot Aberdeen will give players the chance to impress the management and land a starting spot at Hampden.
But before focus turns towards that last four encounter, Beale will want to put on a show for the Ibrox crowd and add to his impressive record as Rangers boss. His only defeats have come against Ange Postecoglou in the League Cup Final and last week's Premiership clash. Speaking ahead of this one, the Ibrox boss told the club website : "We have to keep winning and I want a strong Rangers on the pitch. I won't devalue the shirt by giving people minutes who have just been waiting. They have to deserve the shirt.
