Rangers team news v Livingston revealed as Steven Gerrard names surprise team

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has named his team to face Livingston on the opening day of the season.

The West Lothian side travel to Glasgow to take on Rangers at Ibrox and it should be a fascinating clash on the opening day.

Rangers are without Alfredo Morelos who is still in quarantine while new boy Nnamdi Ofoborh is out while the club continue to deal with a heart issue.

But unsurprisingly, Gerrard has still gone very strong and will be hoping for a big performance from his players as they look to get off to a good start to the season.

Allan McGregor is on the bench with Jon McLaughlin starting in goals and he's got a back four of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Leon Balogun and Calvin Bassey in front of him.

John Lundstram is among the subs as well with a midfield three of Steven Davis, Glen Kamara and Joe Aribo.

Fashion Sakala does make his competitive debut though as he starts up front with Ianis Hagi and Ryan Kent playing just behind him.

On the bench, McGregor and Lundstram are joined by Cedric Itten, Jack Simpson, Nathan Patterson, Scott Wright and Kemar Roofe.

Full team: McLaughlin, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Bassey, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Hagi, Kent, Sakala

Subs: McGregor, Lundstram, Itten, Simpson, Patterson, Wright, Roofe.
