Michael Beale admitted in his pre-match press conference that the Rangers team against Celtic on Sunday will be similar to the one that played v Livingston.

While they did win 3-0, there were still a few areas where they weren't strong enough and for a game against their arch rivals, there's a good chance he rings in a couple of changes.

Kemar Roofe was solid off the bench and he bagged a goal too and we're expecting him to brush off the injury worries to start ahead of Fashion Sakala for the Viaplay Cup final.

The other change is expected to be Scott Wright coming in for Glen Kamara who's not been the same ever since he was a guaranteed starter under Steven Gerrard.

While the Iceland international did not do too much wrong v Livingston, we believe Wright will be a better player to make the difference on the transition.

He can also drift out wide and is better at dictating the tempo of the game along with Nicolas Raskin in midfield.

Alfredo Morelos appears to be Beale's go to man to lead the line and we do not see Antonio Colak coming in for him here.

Scott Arfield could return from his injury for this one, but we do not see him making the eleven and is expected to make the bench at best.

The defence pretty much picks itself and Tavernier will be looking to continue his rich vein of form and would love to score against Celtic en route to lifting the trophy at full time.
