Philippe Clement has named his Rangers side to take on Dundee this afternoon. 

A place in the Hampden Park semi-finals are at stake, and with Rangers Premier Sports Cup holders, the impetus will be on them doing their upmost to retain the competition crown. 

It's been a far from convincing start to the current campaign for Clement's men. 

And today he has opted to make three changes to his starting XI, with Vaclav Cerny, Dujon Sterling, and Nedim Bajrami coming in for Oscar Cortes, Kieran Dowell, and Mohamed Diomande.

Jack Butland takes his position in goal, shielded by a defensive line consisting of captain James Tavernier, John Souttar, Robin Propper, and Jefte.

Sterling joins the midfield, pairing with Connor Barron.

Bajrami makes his full debut for the Gers after transferring from Sassuolo on deadline day, while Cerny and Tom Lawrence also feature in the line-up, supporting the solitary striker Cyriel Dessers in attack.
