Seven changes; this Rangers XI will crush Dundee

Rangers face Dundee tomorrow in a match which will be taken very seriously given both clubs’ respective last results.

But it’s clear Rangers have a number of players who are not delivering consistently, regardless of position or form, and for a win to be secured, Steven Gerrard must consider a significant number of changes in order to get defence back on track, midfield with composure and attack with venom.

For this one the back four should be Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall and Barisic.

Worrall might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but when it comes to vital game-saving tackles, his positioning is top drawer. He is in far better form than the off-boil Goldson, while Barisic simply has to start and solve Rangers’ trials and tribulations at left back.

In midfield Jack can sit in his usual role, with Scott Arfield thankfully returning. There can be no place for either Lassana Coulibaly or Ovie Ejaria, with either Ross McCrorie or Jordan Rossiter taking that slot. We’d pick Rossiter in a more central midfield position with Arfield ahead of him.

Up front Ryan Kent must be in the XI – while his form tailed off marginally before his injury, at times he’s been unplayable on the left, and can hurt any defence around. Alfredo Morelos will not be available, meaning a likely start for Kyle Lafferty, and we’d like to see Eros Grezda as Kent’s counterpart.

So, your Ibrox Noise chosen (not predicted) XI:

McGregor; Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall, Barisic; Jack, Rossiter, Arfield; Grezda, Lafferty, Kent.

Seems good enough to us.

NB: we were unaware Arfield’s ban was two matches. We’d suggest an attempt at Halliday in his natural position of AM as a result.
