The Rangers manager Danny Rohl has named his starting XI for this afternoon’s Scottish Cup quarter final at Ibrox against Celtic…
Looking through the two sides there are NO Scots in the Rangers team starting today’s Glasgow Derby and visitors Celtic, without both the captain Callum McGregor and left-back Kieran Tierney, have on ONE Scottish player in the Celtic starting XI named by Martin O’Neill and that’s Luke McCowan who has the ‘big boots’ of Callum McGregor to fill.
The Rangers team is as follows:
Rangers starting XI: Butland, Sterling, Djiga, Fernandez, Rommens, Raskin, Diomande, Skov Olsen, Moore, Naderi, Chermiti. Subs: Kelly, Meghoma, Souttar, Tavernier, Chukwuani, Bajrami, Gassama, Aasgaard, Miovski
