Hide AdGiven they could be eight points behind rivals Celtic by the time the games kicks off, the importance of victory couldn’t be higher. One change we predict is Leon Balogun coming into centre-back, as boss Clement listens to the demand of Ibrox legend Barry Ferguson.
The former captain told Go Radio: “He’s been training. I would play Balogun all day long, all day long. I just like him and the presence he brings.
“He’s got good experience and does things really simple which I like from a centre-back. But do you know what he is there for? He goes and wins his headers, gets close to the No.9 and for me when he is fit and available.
“I would always play him and it would be up to who would be beside him. If you are going on Sunday’s game, I would put him beside John Souttar.”
