Rangers Revamp Starting XI with Seven Changes Ahead of Motherwell Clash
Rangers manager Philippe Clement has made waves with his selection for this afternoon’s crucial Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell at Fir Park. Wrapping up 2024 on a high note is the goal, and Clement has dramatically reshuffled his squad, making seven changes to the starting lineup that faced St Mirren just days ago.
New Look for Rangers’ First XI
Jack Butland will command the goal, supported by a recalibrated back four consisting of Captain James Tavernier, Dujon Sterling, Robin Propper, and Ridvan Yilmaz.
Midfield sees a fresh infusion of energy with Nico Raskin and Kieran Dowell partnering with Mohamed Diomande, another key inclusion to the lineup. Meanwhile, the spotlight shines on Oscar Cortes, who makes his much-anticipated return to the starting XI after recovering from injury. He joins Danilo and Cyriel Dessers in a dynamic front three expected to challenge Motherwell’s defense.
The Substitutes
The Rangers bench will also be pivotal this afternoon, featuring Liam Kelly, Connor Barron, Nedim Bajrami, Rabbi Matondo, Vaclav Cerny, Jefte, Hamza Igamane, Leon King, and Ross McCausland – a mix of youth and experience ready to make an impact if called upon.
The Stakes at Fir Park
This game not only marks Rangers’ final fixture of the calendar year but also offers a chance to sharpen the squad as they push higher in the Premiership standings. The shake-up in the lineup signals Clement’s intent to put his new system into action and keep fans invested as they head into a pivotal phase of the season.
Kick-off is scheduled for 3 PM! While UK fans will need to follow updates through Rangers’ social feeds, those overseas can catch all the action live on RangersTV.
Rangers Starting XI:
Butland, Tavernier, Sterling, Propper, Ridvan, Raskin, Dowell, Diomande, Cortes, Danilo, Dessers.
Subs: Kelly, Barron, Bajrami, Matondo, Cerny, Jefte, Igamane, King, McCausland.
