Rangers predicted XI v Aberdeen: Scott Wright to be handed rare start
Michael Beale could be looking to keep some of his key players fit for the game against Celtic next week so a start for Rangers wide man Scott Wright may be on the cards.
After missing the 5-2 win against St Mirren, the Gers boss confirmed that Wright is back with the squad for this game.
With Ryan Kent ruled out, there’s a chance that Fashion Sakala moves to the left as Beale would want him to continue his goal-scoring momentum.
The likes of Kemar Roofe and Ryan Jack will also be missing this game.
This could see Malik Tillman, a United States international, being dropped and Wright starting on the right wing.
Beale said, “Wright is back in the squad. Lowry returns to training tomorrow. Goldson and Kent will make it next weekend, Colak will be touch and go.”
There may be a case for Leon King being handed a rare state after he came off the bench in the St Mirren clash, but the Rangers manager may not want to tweak his centre-back pairing.
Had Antonio Colak been fit all week, he could’ve been in contention to start but we can only see him getting a handful of minutes off the bench.
Apart from that, the rest of the team will pretty much pick itself and there could be a few surprises given how important the Celtic clash is.
Rangers will want to end the league season well even though they’ve got no hopes of winning the title after their recent loss to their rivals.
In other Rangers news, the club may now approach a sporting director who built a Champions League winning team and can hire him for free.
