Rangers squad revealed as Malik Tillman ready to shake up midfield and Kemar Roofe call looms

Ryan Jack and John Lundstram were also doubts which could present Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell opportunities.

With everyone fit, the Rangers team for today’s Viaplay Cup final would usually pick itself.

The back five is nailed on and Michael Beale seems to have a preferred front three. But the middle of the park poses some questions for the Ibrox boss at Hampden this afternoon. John Lundstram, Ryan Jack and Malik Tillman are all injury doubts. Lundstram hasn't featured since getting injured early against Ross County last month. Jack has had a slight issue and Tillman sat out of the Premiership win over Livingston last weekend.


Beale appeared to hint in midweek that it was unlikely Tillman would make it, but it's been suggested that a bit of mind games be at play to try and keep Ange Postecoglou guessing. If he’s out, along with the other two, then it presents a chance for Nicolas Raskin to announce himself as a Rangers player on the biggest stage. Todd Cantwell could also get the chance to shine.

Kemar Roofe's injury troubles resurfaced. The Jamaican tends to be involved when fit under Beale so will likely be given every chance.
