TIME TO ROHL THE DICE FOR DERBY

Record Sport looks at five burning issues for Danny ahead of semi

- BY SCOTT MCDERMOTT

RANGERS fans are believing again ahead of tomorrow's Old Firm showdown at Hampden.

New gaffer Danny Rohl has somehow lifted the dark cloud that had engulfed Ibrox at the start of the campaign and led them to two Premiership victories in a row.

The wins over Kilmarnock and Hibs weren't spectacular but there's a sense the German is building something and the contrast to Russell Martin is stark.

At Easter Road on Wednesday night, Rohl said he didn't have a plan yet for Martin O'Neill's Hoops side in the Premier Sports Cup semifinal.

But his impact at Rangers has given them a genuine chance of reaching the showpiece.

Here are Record Sport's five burning issues for Gers before the cup clash:

SELECTION DILEMMA

Rohl switched it up against Hibs and his starting lineup raised eyebrows, especially with skipper James Tavernier left out.

At Hampden, he'll have to do without Connor Barron, who was terrific in Edinburgh. So Rohl will shuffle the pack again as he bids to get one over on O'Neill's Celtic.

The back three should pick itself, with Tavernier returning.

Nasser Djiga impressed against Hibs and should start alongside John Souttar, Derek Cornelius and Jayden Meghoma.

In midfield, you'd expect Mohamed Diomande to be Barron's direct replacement. But it's ahead of that where it gets interesting.

Danilo's two goals in two games surely sees him play in one of the positions off a main striker?
