Rangers have confirmed their starting lineup for the game against Dundee United, with Philippe Clement making two changes.

The Gers will take on the Tangerines on 23 November at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership, and the Bears have announced their lineup for the fixture on their official X account [23 November].

Dujon Sterling and Robin Propper come into the side to replace captain James Tavernier and Leon Balogun.

In the Light Blues' previous fixture, they took on Hearts in the league and won by a narrow scoreline of 1-0 with a sixth-minute goal from Cyriel Dessers.

Rangers need to build a winning streak

The Nigerian striker has been in decent form as of late, scoring three goals in his last three appearances for Rangers.

Balogun started over Propper in the win over the Jambos in the previous fixture, but the Nigerian has lost his place in favour of the Dutchman against the Tangerines.

John Souttar had an impressive spell with Scotland during the international break, and the Ibrox faithful will hope that the centre-back puts in another solid display against Dundee United.

Tavernier has been under pressure this season for his performances, with many wanting to see Sterling start, as he has caught the eye of many in recent weeks, and considering how reliant the former Monaco head coach has been on the 33-year-old, it's surprising to see him being dropped.

The Light Blues currently sit third in the league table, nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen, and Clement's team can't lose any more points if they want to keep their chances of winning the league alive.

Dundee United have been resolute defensively away from home in the current campaign, conceding just six goals in the league, and the Bears fans will have high hopes from Dessers to find the back of the net.
