Barry Ferguson names his Rangers starting XI v Celtic, and Fabio Silva benched

On Saturday, May 11, Barry Ferguson will start his Rangers lineup at Parkhead against Celtic; Fabio Silva will not be playing.

With their title ambitions hanging in the balance going into the final weeks of the season,

Philippe Clement’s team knows they need to win at their opponents’ stadium for the first time in four years.

Additionally, the former Ibrox captain selected the team he would play with and provided

an explanation of how they may achieve a historic victory in a piece he wrote for the Daily Record on May 10.

“A back four of James Tavernier, Leon Balogun, John Souttar, and Ridvan Yilmaz, with Jack Butland in goal,” he uttered.

“And Todd Cantwell, Cyriel Dessers, and Tom Lawrence are in the top three.

In fact, some may contend that the full-backs’ appropriate forward pressure must account for the seeming lack of breadth.

But Rangers must strengthen their midfield above all else.

Sterling is there, so they can accomplish that.

Rangers defeat Celtic, with Philippe Clement leading the way.

This season, the Rangers and Clement have dealt with an incredible amount of injuries.

and things aren’t getting any easier as the season approaches its conclusion.

This season, Abdallah Sima and Rabbi Matondo are fighting to play again.

Ryan Jack is still doubtful, and Leon Balogun is the most recent player predicted to miss out.

Connor Goldson, Oscar Cortes, and Danilo won’t be back.

This implies that, at Celtic Park, the starting lineup will essentially choose itself.

but there are some possibilities for the attack.

In recent months, Clement has frequently chosen Portuguese striker Silva to play off the left.

substituting Sima for Silva due to the latter’s injury and Silva’s speed and goal threat.

Though he did manage to score against Kilmarnock, his play hasn’t been the finest.

No one would be upset if this was the starting lineup that left the stadium before kickoff.
