Bajrami axed in two changes – Rangers predicted XI v Dundee United
Barry Ferguson could make two changes to his Rangers starting 11 for their Scottish Premiership clash with Dundee United.
Despite having nothing left to play for, Rangers will be keen on ending the season as strongly as they can, and after their 4-0 hammering of Aberdeen, they are in a good position to do so.
Cyriel Dessers was on the score sheet again for the Gers in what proved to be a comfortable victory at Ibrox after going six games without a win, while also crashing out of the Europa League.
However, Nedim Bajrami struggled to influence the game before being withdrawn at halftime, and he could be one of two changes made against Dundee United.
Rangers need to end the season on a high
Just two games remain until Rangers will turn their full attention to the summer transfer window, where they will have a lot of work to do.
However, for now, focus will be on the final few games, and Ferguson is likely to slightly alter his squad ahead of the next encounter.
Liam Kelly may end the season as Rangers’ number one after displacing Jack Butland a few weeks ago, with one change expected ahead of him.
James Tavernier and Jefte could keep their place at fullback, with Robin Propper returning to the starting 11 to partner John Souttar, replacing Leon Balogun.

Propper’s last appearance for the Light Blues came against St. Mirren towards the end of April, but this clash may be the perfect time for him to come back into the defence.
Nico Raskin was the standout performer last time out at Ibrox, and he should keep his place alongside Connor Barron in the midfield.
Hamza Igamane must take Rangers chance when it arrives
Mohammed Diomande is Rangers’ go-to option for the 10 role, and the likelihood is that he will start there once again against Dundee United.
Vaclav Cerny registered a goal and an assist against the Dons, and should retain his place out on the right, with Hamza Igamane replacing Bajrami on the left flank.
Questions have emerged over where Igamane’s future lies after so many omissions, and Ferguson may look to give the forward a chance to prove himself once again.
Dessers has had a brilliant season, and there will be little doubt over whether or not he leads the line at the weekend.
