Philippe Clement has named his Rangers starting XI to face St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership this evening (Sunday; kick-off 8pm).
The Ibrox side host the Perthshire outfit just a few days after Thursday's UEFA Europa League defeat to Olympique Lyonnais, with the manager making two changes to the team that lost 4-1 in Govan in midweek.
St Johnstone, on the other hand, enter tonight's match with new manager Simo Valakari appointed - although Andy Kirk and Alex Cleland remain in charge for the match at Ibrox.. In their previous run-out, the Saints lost 6-0 to Celtic at McDiarmid Park last weekend.
As for Rangers, Jack Butland starts in goal, with James Tavernier, Robin Propper, John Souttar and Jefte across the back.
In front of them sits Mohamed Diomande, Nico Raskin and Nedim Bajrami, with Vacla Cerny, Ross McCausland and Cyriel Dessers filling out Clement's attacking third.

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!
