Summer signing benched as Clement makes Dessers call - Rangers confirmed XI v Dundee

Philippe Clement has named his Rangers eleven to take on Dundee in the Scottish League Cup on 21 September at Ibrox.

The Belgian has opted to bench summer signing Hamza Igamane with Cyriel Dessers leading the line for Gers.

Nedim Bajrami, Vaclav Cerny and Connor Barron have all been given starts as Gers aim to retain their Scottish League Cup title.

Rangers have to secure the victory against Dundee

Gers will be hoping to progress against Dundee in the Scottish League Cup, primarily due to their quality among their ranks.

Despite an inconsistent start to the season, the hosts will fancy their chances and will be buoyed by the return of the Ibrox faithful.

Dundee, who, despite their impressive season start, have struggled historically against the Glasgow club and are expected to find it hard again.

Psychologically, securing this win is crucial for Rangers as it not only keeps alive their chance to retain the League Cup but also serves as a morale booster amidst their ongoing league struggles against Celtic.

A victory here would reinforce the squad’s confidence, potentially acting as a catalyst for better performances in the Premiership, where they’re already trailing their arch rivals by five points.

Hopefully, Clement’s side can go on about their business in a nonchalant manner and secure a spot in the next round.
