Rangers return to Hampden Park for the third weekend in succession as their Scottish Premiership campaign gets back underway with a visit from Ross County on Saturday (kick off: 3pm).
Philippe Clement saw new signing Robin Propper limp out of last week’s Premier Sports Cup win over St. Johnstone, and the Belgian boss admits he is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Staggies. There was better news elsewhere though, with Clement confirming Nico Raskin and Leon Balogun are back in full training.
The Gers boss also revealed Oscar Cortes is ‘expected’ to return to training next week, with the Colombian youngster handing the Rangers head coach a further boost following his opening day injury against Hearts.
So how will the Gers line up at Hampden Park on Saturday? The Scotsman predicts Rangers’ starting XI v Ross County, with five changes from last weekend’s win over St. Johnstone.
