Souttar out in two changes – Rangers confirmed XI v St Mirren
Philippe Clement has made two changes to his Rangers side as they host St Mirren at Ibrox.
Rangers are looking to continue momentum from the 3-1 win at Hearts last Sunday, in a Saturday clash (22 February) where they are widely expected to take another three points.
Clement has carefully considered his starting XI for a contest, with injuries and rotation key at Ibrox.
Clement makes two Rangers changes
Clement has opted to bring in Robin Propper for John Souttar for the contest in Govan, as well as drafting Cyriel Dessers to spearhead the attack.
This will mean Hamza Igamane is shifted out to the left-hand side in a pacy attack.
Souttar and Tom Lawrence are the men to make way, as the Gers look to secure a sixth successive Scottish Premiership win over a St Mirren side.
Confidence is high among the team right now, as Clement looks not only to continue the winning run but also to keep pressure off his own back following a turbulent season so far.

Ibrox building with excitement
Following the news of the advanced talks ongoing between the Rangers board and a consortium backed by 49ers Enterprises, fans believe there is plenty to be excited about.
Gers supporters are desperate for their side to once again properly compete, and the US-backed party could well be the operatives to be able to execute that.
Fans on social media have taken on an ‘American feel’ in the comments of Rangers’ posts, including announcing the starting XI to take on St Mirren.
The positive feeling around Govan – which has been long overdue – can only be helped if the Light Blues are able to secure all three points on Saturday afternoon.
Clement is continuing faith with many of the players who have got the team on this run, and they can look to repay the faith of the highly-scrutinised Belgian on the sideline.
It isn’t just about wins now, the performance has to better than clinging on and praying on a couple of own goals to save you at the other end to be sustainable longer-term.
