Rangers squad revealed as Danilo aims to cash in on newfound rewards system

The Ibrox side have a chance to narrow the gap at the top of the table if they can get a win over Hearts.

The Ibrox side have a chance to narrow the gap at the top of the table if they can get a win over Hearts.

Philippe Clement has been handed an expected early chance to cut the gap to Scottish Premiership leaders and rivals Celtic after the champions had a rare slip up at Easter Road on Saturday.

With such chances not coming around too often, it makes it imperative that Rangers take full advantage when Hearts arrive in Glasgow for the second half of their Old Firm double header at what is set to be a wet and windy Ibrox Stadium.

Steven Naismith's Jambos were well beaten by the Hoops at Tynecastle and the men in maroon will be looking to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat. But new Gers boss Clement has lifted the mood following a 4-0 romp against Hibs in his first game followed by a battling goalless draw at Sparta Prague in the Europa League.

Danilo and Scott Wright both came off the bench in the Czech capital and contributed to a much-improved display after they were outplayed in the first half. Clement could reward the duo with starts against Hearts, while there is relief for Clement that he has a recognised left back available in Ridvan Yilmaz who wasn't included in the UEFA list by Michael Beale and, with Borna Barisic injured, forced the Belgian to switch to a 3-5-2 formation.
