Rangers will prepare for their Europa League final with a trip to Hearts on Saturday.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst will likely field a rotated lineup in anticipation of Thursday's game, while he'll also have one eye on the Scottish Cup final against these very opponents seven days after this first match.

GK: Jon McLaughlin - 40-year-old Allan McGregor is the main man in goal but expect McLaughlin to get a run-out here.RB: Adam Devine - There's no chance James Tavernier gets risked here, so young Devine deserves another chance to shine.CB: Leon Balogun - The first reserve in defence, Balogun should be handed a start here to hand rests to Connor Goldson and Calvin Bassey.CB: Leon King - It's between King and James Sands for this second spot, with the former likely to get the nod.LB: Charlie McCann - Like Tavernier, Borna Barisic will get a night off here and young McCann should fill in.CM: Steven Davis - In front of an inexperienced back line, Van Bronckhorst should deploy Davis as his anchor man.CM: Alex Lowry - Young Lowry has made a good impression during his short time with the seniors and absolutely deserves another start.CM: Scott Arfield - Arfield could play further ahead in a 4-2-3-1 but it's pretty much the same system anyway.RW: Scott Wright - There'll be rests for Aaron Ramsey and Joe Aribo, so expect Wright to keep his place in the starting lineup.ST: Fashion Sakala - Kemar Roofe is not yet back in training so Sakala will likely lead the line.LW: Amad Diallo -
