There’s been a spate of ‘leaked’ Rangers teams emerging ahead of big Ibrox clashes already this season, although many of them have proved NOT to be correct.
And SunSport understands that the same will apply to the line-up which mysteriously emerged online ahead of the first Old Firm game of the season which showed Max Aarons retaining his spot in Tavernier’s usual role at right back, despite his sending off just seven minutes into the 6-0 rout vs Brugge in midweek.

For the record, the team which emerged today ahead of the Hoops clash had Jack Butland in goal, which a back four of Aarons, Souttar, Djiga and Meghoma.
It suggested an all-British midfield core of Connor Barron, Lyall Cameron and Joe Rothwell, with Djeidi Gassama and Oliver Antman starting up front either side of Danilo.
That would mean the likes of Cyriel Dessers and Mohamed Diomande joining Raskin on the sidelines for the first Glasgow grudge match of the season.
