Philippe Clement has named his Rangers side to take on Dundee this afternoon.
A place in the Hampden Park semi-finals are at stake, and with Rangers Premier Sports Cup holders, the impetus will be on them doing their upmost to retain the competition crown.
It's been a far from convincing start to the current campaign for Clement's men.
And today he has opted to make three changes to his starting XI, with Vaclav Cerny, Dujon Sterling, and Nedim Bajrami coming in for Oscar Cortes, Kieran Dowell, and Mohamed Diomande.
Jack Butland takes his position in goal, shielded by a defensive line consisting of captain James Tavernier, John Souttar, Robin Propper, and Jefte.
Sterling joins the midfield, pairing with Connor Barron.
Bajrami makes his full debut for the Gers after transferring from Sassuolo on deadline day, while Cerny and Tom Lawrence also feature in the line-up, supporting the solitary striker Cyriel Dessers in attack.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
