Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has opted not to switch his strikers for this afternoon's visit to Livingston as Alfredo Morelos keeps his place in the starting XI.

Gerrard has made a habit of swapping around Morelos and Jermain Defoe from one week to the next as he continues to make use of two on-form forwards.

Morelos started against Porto midweek in the Europa League pointing to Defoe possibly starting at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

However the Liverpool legend has decided to stick with El Buffalo who has scored 21 goals in 25 matches.

Meanwhile Joe Aribo returns to the stadium where he suffered a head injury last time out.

Scott Arfield also replaces goal hero Steven Davis in the midfield.

We told earlier how Livi boss Gary Holt took exception to Gerrard's criticisms when the latter urged today's referee, Nick Walsh, to protect his players.

Starting XI: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Jack, Kamara, Aribo, Arfield, Kent, Morelos.

Subs: Foderingham, Katic, Flanagan, Stewart, Davis, Ojo, Defoe.
