Michael Beale has named his Rangers team to take on Greenock Morton.

The Ibrox side enter the Viaplay Cup competition against the Championship side in the second round this afternoon.

And Beale has made a host of changes to his Rangers team with James Tavernier and Todd Cantwell not involved in the matchday squad. Nico Raskin is also not part of the squad for the fixture.

There has been no suggestion of injuries, so it may be that Beale views the match as an opportunity to rest the players ahead of the Champions League play-off against PSV with the first-leg this week.

Jack Butland starts in goal with Dujon Sterling, Connor Goldson, Leon Balogun and Johnly Yfeko in defence.

John Lundstram, Kieran Dowell and Jose Cifuentes are in midfield with Rabbi Matondo, Sam Lammers and Cyriel Dessers in attack.
