Connor Goldson has been named on the bench for Rangers against St Mirren.

The centre-back was benched against Hearts in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden last week - and Philippe Clement has again gone with a partnership of Leon Balogun and John Souttar.

It comes after Clement insisted Goldson was simply being rested for Rangers at the national stadium.

Jack Butland starts in goal for Rangers with James Tavernier, Balogun, Souttar and Borna Barisic in defence.
