Rangers team news v Cove Rangers revealed as Scott Wright makes first start

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has named his team to face Cove in the Scottish Cup.

The Ibrox men host their League One opponents in a 6.30pm kick-off with the chance to face Celtic in the next round up for grabs.

It won't be an easy match for Rangers with ambitious Cove hoping that trips to Ibrox are a regular occurrence in a couple of years time.

It's been two weeks since Rangers played a game and they have made seven changes from that team that drew 1-1 at Celtic Park.

Scott Wright starts and it's his first inclusion in the starting XI since joining the club in January from Aberdeen.

There's also a start for Jon McLaughlin in goals, with Nathan Patterson, Connor Goldson, Filip Helander and Calvin Bassey in the back four.

The midfield sees a slight change in shape as Steven Davis joined by Glen Kamara and Scott Arfield.

Wright and Kemar Roofe start on either side of the front three, with Jermain Defoe as he main striker.

RANGERS: McLaughlin, Patterson, Goldson, Helander, Bassey, Davis, Arfield, Kamara, Wright, Defoe, Roofe

Subs: McGregor, Balogun, Simpson, Hagi, Kent, Aribo, Stewart, Itten, Morelos
