22-year-old axed in Murty 4-2-3-1: Rangers expected XI v Motherwell
Rangers manager Graeme Murty is expected to make one change to his starting XI when the Gers face Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership at Fir Park on Sunday.
Jason Cummings is expected to be axed to make way for the return of Alfredo Morelos after the Colombian was dropped to the bench in the defeat by Kilmarnock before the international break.
Wes Foderingham is expected to start in goal behind a back four of James Tavernier, Bruno Alves, Russell Martin and Declan John.
With Lee Wallace and Ross McCrorie nearing returns from injury, the loss of David Bates to injury shouldn’t be as severe for the Light Blues.
Ahead of the defence, Sean Goss and Greg Docherty should line-up in central midfield for the Gers as they attempt to end a run of two consecutive defeats.
Daniel Candeias, Josh Windass and Jamie Murphy are expected to start just behind Morelos as Murty restores his first choice attack to the starting XI ahead of 22-year-old Cummings.
Murphy will be returning to Fir Park as a player for the first time since leaving Motherwell and will be eager to hit the net against the side he began his career with.
With an Old Firm clash rapidly approaching, the Light Blues will be hoping to build some momentum ahead of the Scottish Cup semi-final meeting with Brendan Rodgers’ side at Hampden.
