Livingston vs Rangers - Sunday, 4.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports Football
Livingston defender Ciaron Brown is set to miss the Scottish Premiership clash with Rangers.
The centre back went off with a leg strain at Motherwell on Wednesday.
Goalkeeper Robby McCrorie will not be able to face his parent club so Max Stryjek is in line for a debut.
Rangers will be without injured Leon Balogun. The 32-year-old defender, signed last month on a free transfer from Brighton, did not appear for the second half of the 3-0 victory over St Johnstone on Wednesday night with a thigh problem and the club is awaiting scan results.
Filip Helander replaced Balogun in midweek but boss Steven Gerrard has admitted he faces a tricky decision over who will partner Connor Goldson. "Filip came on and did extremely well and George (Edmundson) has had a real
strong pre-season so I'll give it as late as I need to and then make a decision," Gerrard said.
Key stat: Rangers are looking to win three consecutive top-flight away matches without conceding a goal for the first time since October 2011 (a six-game run).
