When Rangers play Livingston on Sunday, November 12, Philippe Clement will be hoping to build on his strong start at Ibrox.
Most of the players under the Belgian coach seem to be giving their all, and a distinct playing style looks to be emerging.
Their 2-1 Europa League victory over Sparta Prague at Ibrox will boost their confidence, but they still need to perform well this weekend away from home in the league.
During his news conference, Clement disqualified John Souttar, Nicolas Raskin, and Rabbi Matondo. He also expressed doubts about Scott Wright’s suitability.
Since Leon Balogun started the previous few games, there’s a chance he’ll start this one as well. Ben Davies started the game midweek.
Even though he is in his mid-30s, Clement may still rely on him, and he might even be selected into the starting lineup.
John Lundstram and Ryan Jack make a fantastic midfield duo, thus there’s no need to start any of them in this match.
After moving to Ibrox in the summer, Sam Lammers has had some difficulty and Tom Lawrence may take his place at number ten.
Abdallah Sima on the left and Todd Cantwell on the right have both performed remarkably well and are certain to hold their positions.
Despite donning a mask, Danilo comes across as incredibly clinical, making him a manager’s dream.
