Rangers lineup vs Ross County as Michael Beale drops Alfredo Morelos in shock twist

Rangers boss Michael Beale has made four changes to the side that won in the most dramatic of circumstances against Aberdeen on Tuesday evening - including dropping Alfredo Morelos.

Scott Arfield was the main man last time out, coming on as a substitute whilst Rangers were 2-1 down at Pittodrie and looking bereft of ideas. It wasn't until the 94th minute that he finally had an impact on the game by scoring a rebound following a Kelle Roos fumble, before superbly notching the winner just moments later as his bouncing strike beat the Dutchman all ends up to snatch the game with just 30 seconds to go.

The former Canadian international has been rightly rewarded with a start for only the sixth time in the league this season - whilst Ben Davies comes in for James Sands and, surprisingly, Jon McLaughlin comes in for Allan McGregor. However, the decision with the biggest drama surrounding it is the exclusion of Morelos. The Colombian has just four goals this season, and was nowhere near close to scoring in midweek before having his bacon saved by Arfield - and that has resulted in a start up front for Zambian hero Fashion Sakala Jr.
