OPINION

Rangers turn their attention back to the Premiership after a Europa League qualifying win in midweek, and Steven Gerrard must make three changes to his starting XI as they travel to Fir Park to take on Motherwell. 

The Light Blues came through a tough test to run out 1-0 winners over FC Ufa at Ibrox on Thursday night to take a first-leg lead in the play-off round fixtures, with Connor Goldson scoring the only goal of the game.

Gerrard will be looking for his team to keep up their unbeaten start to the season against Well on Sunday, and the boss will have to make a few changes to keep his side fresh amid a congested fixture list.

In goal, Allan McGregor must keep his place between the sticks.

In defence, captain James Tavernier should also retain his spot, as should Goldson and Nikola Katic at centre-back. At left-back, Borna Barisic should come back into the side for Jon Flanagan.

In midfield, Andy Halliday should be given a run out after his brilliant display in the League Cup last weekend, with Ovie Ejaria given a rest. Ryan Jack should retain his place alongside Halliday.

And finally, in attack, Gerrard should go with two up top with new signing Kyle Lafferty being handed his full debut alongside Alfredo Morelos, while Scott Arfield and Daniel Candeias should fill in behind them, with Ryan Kent seeing the axe.
