How Rangers F.C. could line up vs Falkirk F.C. injuries & doubts revealed

Danny Rohl is expected to reshuffle his lineup as Rangers F.C. prepare to face Falkirk F.C. in the Scottish Premiership.

Injuries are forcing the manager’s hand, with Ryan Naderi ruled out and up to five players potentially unavailable, leaving Rohl with some difficult selection decisions. Despite these setbacks, Rangers are still tipped to come away with the win.

In midfield, Rohl is unlikely to break up the pairing of Nicolas Raskin and Tochi Chukwuani, but Connor Barron could be handed a rare start in a more advanced role to provide attacking support.

Up front, Youssef Chermiti is expected to replace Naderi, marking one of the key changes. Out wide, with Mikey Moore also a doubt, Djeidi Gassama could be introduced on the left flank, while Thelo Aasgaard operates on the right.

Defensively, Emmanuel Fernandez is tipped to return to the starting XI alongside Nasser Djiga, while captain James Tavernier may come back in at right-back in place of Dujon Sterling to add more attacking threat from deep.

Although Falkirk will have home advantage, their recent form has been inconsistent, making them underdogs heading into the contest. For Rangers, securing three points is the priority as they aim to head into the league split with momentum.

Given the physical demands on the squad, a short break could benefit several players who have been heavily relied upon in recent weeks.

Tactically, Rohl may tweak his approach, potentially opting for a more direct style rather than the possession-based game seen in recent matches. Full-backs like Tavernier and Jayden Meghoma could be key outlets, providing width and overlapping runs to stretch the opposition.

With injuries mounting, this could be a different-looking Rangers side, but one still focused on getting the job done and keeping their title hopes alive.
