Rangers manager Steven Gerrard confirmed he's looking to add to his squad, as he admits he's pondering a change of formation.
The Premiership champions drew 2-2 with Arsenal at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon, with Leon Balogun and Cedric Itten grabbing the goals.
Arguably the most interesting aspect though was Nathan Patterson and James Tavernier both playing in the same side, with the captain pushed on ahead of his young team-mate.
And their manager admits both players are just too good to leave out, so much so he's plotting a change of system to fit them in.
Gerrard told Rangers TV: "We're going to consider it because they're two really good players.
"But it's not going to happen at the flick of a switch, it's something we're going to have to work on in training, we'll have to get them used to it.
"They're two fantastic players so I can't have one of them on the bench for every game of the season that's for sure.
"There will be times when it'll suit us and times when I don't need it but it is something that's on my mind, and it is something we're going to experiment with."
Tavernier was pushed into a more advanced role where he was picking up the ball with his back to goal, rather than bursting into space, as he operated in a central position.
But his manager doesn't feel that will be the solution he'll adopt going forward.
Gerrard said: "It's not a big strength of his, but what I will say is I didn't want to change the system during the game today.
"We had too many changes so I didn't want to go to a 4-1-4-1. If we use this system (with Tavernier and Patterson) it'll maybe be more in a back-three or in a 4-1-4-1 where James is more out wide, where he's more used to being when he plays right-back.
"I certainly won't play him as a 10 with his back to goal, I can't turn him into a 10 overnight. But what I didn't want to do today was change the system because of where the scoreline was, and because we'd just made so many substitutions.
"So it's a work in progress but it's very early days."
Gerrard knows he will have to mix things up this year, as he fears that teams will be too accustomed to how his own side plays after three seasons.
He continued: "I think at times (we'll change formation).
"I think once everyone's back and once we've got the squad set - we're still looking to maybe add something to it as well - so once we've got the right personnel in I have to have the variety because some teams, and some managers, will try and stop this system if they've seen it for some years now.
"In game I might have to tweak something just to keep people thinking, opposition players and managers, have the variety to try and adapt within the game.
"That's where the players have got to be quite clever and listen to the information that we give them."
