No Davies and Sakala - looks like they could be off.

Soutter has an Iillness apparently.

[RANGERRAB 3,258]

No Souttar today?

Wright? I thought he was back in Turkey? Where's big John?

 

Daniel on the bench...

C'mon John Lundstram. Prove your worth.

Don't mind the XI, probably goes to show how desperate we are for a LCB though.

 

Butland for the full 90 please.

Sofascore notification popped up with the lineups and they have never been wrong before, and had Butland not in the squad, and I was panicking that the bust up rumour was true. Very relieved to see the lineup in the Rangers tweet! Very unfortunate to have Davies and Souttar out with a bug at this stage of preseason. Potentially a bit disastrous with crucial games coming up fast.

Not that Wright. 

 

This is the young 'keeper, Kieran Wright.

 

Actually, he's 24! WTF is he still doing here? Maybe just fulfilling the Andy Firth role now? The back-up's back-up.

I'm pleased to see Yfeko.

I think it would be a miracle if he was anywhere near good enough to play for us this season. Lots of posters on FF watched the B team regularly last season and all said he didn’t impress at all.
