Rangers team news v Real Madrid revealed as Steven Gerrard goes strong for Los Blancos clash

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has named his team to face Real Madrid in the final pre-season of the summer.

The Ibrox side begin their league campaign on Saturday against Livingston but before that they have arguably the biggest club in the world visiting on Sunday evening.

It's the second game in two days for Rangers after they faced Brighton on Saturday and it was a much-changed team for the visit of the Premier League side.

It saw the likes of Jon McLaughlin, Jack Simpson, Stephen Kelly, Jordan Jones and Cedric Itten get some much needed game time but that is likely to change today.

Real Madrid haven't visited Ibrox since 1963 and only the second time in history that they've played Rangers in Glasgow, with the previous one finishing 1-0.

The game in Madrid didn't go well for Rangers at all, with Ferenc Puskas netting a hat-trick in a 6-0 victory for Los Blancos.

But while it was a more reserve side that faced Brighton, it's a much stronger one today with Gerrard going back to his best ahead of next Saturday's Premiership opener against Livingston.

Full team: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Lundstram, Davis, Hagi, Kent, Wright, Sakala

Subs: McCrorie, Bassey, Itten, Simpson, Patterson, Kamara, Jones, Balogun, Kelly, Arfield, Middleton
