Rangers predicted XI with a significant Scottish Cup deviation as Philippe Clement considers balancing act

Though already a fan favourite at Ibrox, Philippe Clement will need to strike a balance when playing Ayr United.

Philippe Clement’s significant influence can be summed up in one word: “Treble,” and everything that goes along with that big number.

Although the straight-shooting Rangers manager won’t admit it aloud, his revitalization effort is evident in the fan base that thinks a domestic clean sweep is possible. After Michael Beale’s disoriented team lost their third Premiership match in seven games in October, it didn’t seem feasible.

However, Clement and Rangers have already won the Viaplay Cup, are right in the thick of the Premiership title fight, and are only one win away from making it to the Scottish Cup semifinals against Ayr United. However, Scott Brown, the Celtic legend who oversees the Honest Men, will stop at nothing to inflict pain on the hosts. How will the Rangers lineup look? Clement can expect a team based on opportunity and has options. Borna Barisic, Nico Raskin, and Scott Wright all seem ready to go, while Fabio Silva’s outstanding cameo against Aberdeen likely means he will be kept in reserve for now.
