Mikey Moore handed debut in eight changes – Rangers predicted XI vs Alloa Athletic
Russell Martin can finally hand Mikey Moore his debut when Rangers host Alloa Athletic in the Scottish League Cup.
Domestically, it has been a nightmare start to the campaign for Rangers, who could only pick up their second point of the season in their last league outing against Dundee.
The Gers have won just one of their last five games, and will now turn their attention to the League Cup when Alloa Athletic make the trip to Ibrox.
Given the gulf in quality between the two sides on paper, Martin will make changes, but he will also be aware of the need for a strong performance.
Martin set to heavily rotate vs Alloa Athletic
Only James Tavernier, Mohamed Diomande and Nasser Djiga are expected to keep this place in the side from the recent 2-1 defeat against Viktoria Plzen.
Liam Kelly could return in goal, with Max Aarons and Emmanuel Fernandez replacing Jefte and Harry Souttar in the back four.
Connor Barron has struggled for minutes so far this season, and he could be given a chance to showcase his worth, alongside Bailey Rice, who has yet to feature under Martin.
Diomande could start as the slightly more advanced of the three midfielders, with three changes anticipated ahead of him.
Moore could receive clearance to make Rangers debut
Moore recently celebrated his 18th birthday with a new contract at Spurs, and he could start on the left wing with clearance expected imminently
Findlay Curtis looks set for a breakthrough campaign on the opposite flank, and he could replace Oliver Antman, who has impressed since his arrival at Ibrox.
Rangers are likely still in the market for a new striker given the uncertainty over Cyriel Dessers, meaning Danilo could be the chosen one to lead the line.
