Rangers are back in Scottish Premiership action tomorrow afternoon as Dundee United visit Ibrox.

A Saturday 3 o'clock kick-off? This is how it's meant to be. Two weeks on from a narrow 1-0 win over Hearts to see in the international break Philippe Clement's side start a frantic run of fixtures at home.

Oscar Cortes won't make this tie but is set to return to training next week. Ridvan Yilmaz is ready for selection again after it emerged that Neraysho Kasanwirjo has suffered a long-term injury.

How will Clement line-up for the fixture? Our writers have their say below.

The news of Kasanwirjo's injury is a bad one for Clement who now lacks a utility option across the Rangers defence. There's a risk it stunts Dujon Sterling's growth as a right-back but after an international break, it would be a surprise if the Belgian manager doesn't opt for his captain at full-back.

In midfield, the big question is who takes the third spot? Ianis Hagi impressed on international duty and will give Rangers the creativity that a trio of Diomande, Barron and Raskin lacks.

While Danilo should see minutes it feels likely they'll arrive from the bench. The Brazilian forward can't play in Nice on Thursday in the Europa League but Cyriel Dessers will be picked by Clement to do the early running before Rangers' No.99 arrives into the game.

Supporters have called for change in recent weeks. As it stands, Clement does not have that many options, though. On Friday, he confirmed that one of the better ones was no longer available and the news that Neraysho Kasanwirjo faces several months out of action has come as a cruel blow to the defender and his boss. That makes the call over who partners John Souttar relatively straightforward and Leon Balogun should get that spot as that pair are flanked by James Tavernier and Jefte.

The return of Ridvan Yilmaz is a boost but the left-back has some work to do to get back into the side. Rabbi Matondo's latest setback comes as no surprise to a frustrated fanbase but having Oscar Cortes back in the coming days does offer Clement a chance to mix it up. Right now, he needs to go with what he has and that is Nedim Bajrami from the left and Vaclav Cerny off the right.

The No.10 decision is his biggest one. If Ianis Hagi does not feature during this run of matches then a January exit seems inevitable. He should get game time but it is more likely that it comes from the bench. Danilo falls into the same category as the Romanian and he needs to play. As much as cases can be made for Hagi and Danilo to start, many will expect Mohamed Diomande and Cyriel Dessers to get the respective shouts instead.
