Rangers selection headache: 10 different solutions to recurring problem
Bruno Alves and David Bates
Alves and Bates would make for an interesting partnership.
Since coming into the first-team, Bates has kept everything simple and hasn’t tried to be something that he isn’t.
With the experience of Alves beside him – and a defender with genuine quality in possession – it could offer Rangers something just a little bit different.
If everyone is fit, it’s unlikely former Raith Rovers youngster Bates would be a regular member of the starting XI but off the back of his performance against Aberdeen – and the potential of a few more games to come – the 21-year-old could find himself properly in the first-team picture at Ibrox.
