Rangers preview: Rohl to rotate

Queen's Park preview: Drozd looking for a repeat performance
The good news for Queen's Park ahead of this match is that Seb Drozd is fit and ready to go as he looks to repeat his Ibrox heroics of last season. With things going miserably in the league, the visitors are expected to throw their best possible starting XI at Rangers on Sunday.
Predicted lineup: Ferrie (GK), Pignatiello, Murray, Shiels, Fieldson, MacGregor, Longridge, Connolly, Drozd, Savoury, Smith
Last five results
- Queen's Park 0-1 Ross County
- Queen's Park 2-1 Arbroath

- Raith 4-1 Queen's Park
- Stranraer 2-1 Queen's Park
Player to watch: Chermiti
Portuguese forward Chermiti has started just one of Rangers' last four domestic fixtures, which makes him a prime candidate to be used from the start on Sunday afternoon. The former Everton striker has had a decent enough debut campaign in Glasgow, but now that he is settled in, more is expected from him.
