Rangers squad revealed as Fabio Silva start temptation hard to resist for Kilmarnock clash

Leon Balogun is suspended after being sent off against Celtic in Philippe Clement's first defeat as Gers boss.

It's time to get up and go again for Rangers after the bitter blow of Old Firm derby defeat.

Philippe Clement's unbeaten run came to an end at the last place the Gers would have wanted to see it smashed as Celtic won 2-1 at Parkhead. The Light Blues still have two games in hand and are still well in the title race - assuming they win them - but can't afford to lose more ground before they get the chance to make up the numbers before doing battle with the leaders once again.

Kilmarnock are the visitors to Ibrox for the final game before the winter break kicks in. Derek McInnes' men have their sights on third place and can draw inspiration from an opening day win over Rangers at Rugby Park. But they'll be facing a different animal this time around in front of a big Ibrox crowd, who will be expecting a reaction to a damaging defeat.

Leon Balogun will be suspended for the visit of the Ayrshire side after his sending off against Brendan Rodgers' team. John Souttar is likely to slot into defence, while Borna Barisic remains a doubt.

There could be a first appearance for new signing Fabio Silva, however.Tthe on-loan Wolves striker is eligible to make his debut now the transfer window is open and will almost certainly play some part. He may even start after Cyriel Dessers again failed to grasp his opportunity against the Celts.

Record Sport takes a look at how Rangers might line up.
