Clement drops Barron in three key changes – Predicted Rangers starting XI v Kilmarnock | OneFootball

Rangers will look to pick up back-to-back wins in the Scottish Premiership when they face Kilmarnock at Ibrox on Wednesday.

The Gers have been very predictable in their approach to domestic games, and they have struggled to break down lower-ranked opposition.

Rangers are already 11 points behind Celtic, and even when they win games at Ibrox, it fails to inspire the fans that they can turn it around.

Kilmarnock are in 10th place, but Rangers cannot take them lightly. They must aim for a routine victory and get three points on board.

With games coming thick and fast, manager Philippe Clement can look to make three changes to the side that won 1-0 against St Johnstone.

Jack Butland is the first-choice keeper at Ibrox, and Clement doesn’t need to change him.

James Tavernier started the previous game in the absence of Dujon Sterling, who is still out injured.

Clement has praised John Souttar, and he is undroppable at the moment. However, Robin Propper could be dropped, and Leon Balogun is likely to replace him.

There could be a change at left-back. Jefte provides consistency, but it is probably the right time to integrate Ridvan Yilmaz into the side.

Nico Raskin and Connor Barron have forged a great partnership in midfield this season, but Clement could bring Mohamed Diomande after his impressive performance against Nice.

Barron could make way for him. He also needs a breather, and Clement can afford to rest him for this game.

Ianis Hagi is ineligible in Europe, and he should play every domestic game unless he gets injured.

Cyriel Dessers has blown hot and cold once again, and fans have become frustrated with his lack of consistency.

Hamza Igamane is likely to retain his place. Nedim Bajrami and Vaclav Cerny should also start, which means Clement does not need to make changes to the forward department.

Predicted Rangers starting XI v Kilmarnock: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun, Yilmaz; Raskin, Diomande; Hagi, Cerny, Bajrami, Igamane.
