Rangers return to domestic action to face St Mirren in what is a great opportunity for Philippe Clement to keep the wagon rolling following the impressive FCSB performance.
The manager will expect more of the same at Ibrox on Sunday since the team’s pace, energy, and attitude were completely different from what he seen against Kilmarnock.
For those who are interested, Aberdeen has defeated Dundee United, and Celtic has defeated Motherwell. The visitors are currently ranked seventh in the table with two victories this season.
Rangers predicted XI vs St Mirren
After just a few minutes, Jack Butland almost gave up a goal, making him a lucky guy against FCSB in many ways.
Despite taking a knock during the incident, he played brilliantly the rest of the game and showed no signs of injury. The combination of John Souttar and Leon Balogun gave little away, and the defense held firm against the Romanians. Even if it means Robin Propper coming off the bench once more, Balogun deserves to preserve his spot despite leaving with a cramp late in the game against Pittodrie.
Even though Neraysho Kasanwirjo is eager to start in his favored right-back position, Clement prefers stability in his defense, thus there is no reason to switch the full-backs.
A change in midfield for Rangers vs St Mirren
The Rangers boss changed things up in midfield and the addition of Nicolas Raskin was a force for good.
Alongside Connor Barron, they formed the sort of partnership that could work well domestically and in Europe.
In front of them, Nedim Bajrami stays on the left, and Mohamed Diomande replaces the injured Tom Lawrence in a central role with wing possibilities. After Vaclav Cerny’s man of the match performance, Hamza Igamane should take Cyriel Dessers’ place as the only other alteration. Dessers’ recent performance and the manner he left the field after FCSB’s third goal was scored make him unworthy of receiving another start. Rangers supporters don’t want their team to be flawless every week, but they do expect the selected player to have the same mindset.
