Rangers squad revealed as Gio van Bronckhorst could give forgotten man a chance

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will look to pick up where he left off in his first league game as Rangers manager.

A win over Sparta Prague got the Dutchman's tenure off to the perfect start in the Europa League, but it's back to domestic duty for the Premiership champions on Sunday.

Van Bronckhorst will be keen to keep the gap over the chasing pack at four points with a win over Livingston.

Leon Balogun will be out of the clash having picked up an injury in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final.

Calvin Bassey deputised for his Nigeria international teammate in the heart of the defence and helped keep a clean sheet against the Czech side.

However, having been left out of the Europa League squad, Jack Simpson could be given the nod at centre-back if Van Bronckhorst wants to take a look at his whole squad.

Kemar Roofe is also not ready yet to make a first-team return with Alfredo Morelos expected to lead the line against following his midweek heroics.
