Rangers must be horrible against Liverpool and the man I can't believe was stuck on Anfield bench HAS to start - Kenny Miller

Barry Ferguson wants Rangers to play anti-football against Liverpool to try and get a Champions League point on Wednesday night. And don’t get me wrong, I know where my pal and former team-mate is coming from. But I prefer to look at it this way.

With Gio van Bronckhorst’s side so desperate to get off the mark in this group - why not go for all three? And to have any chance of doing that, one man has to start at Ibrox. I’m not going to try and pick Gio’s line-up or his formation. And if Fergie wants a back five again, just like at Anfield, I’m not disagreeing with him. But for me, whatever shape Gio goes for against Jurgen Klopp’s men - Scott Arfield MUST be deployed within it.

If Rangers want to take anything from this game, he should be one of the first name’s on the manager’s team-sheet. They need a goal. Whether it’s Alfredo Morelos or Antonio Colak up front, it doesn’t really matter. But they need someone else to provide a threat.

And Scotty Arfield is the ONLY guy in that Rangers squad who can do what he does. He’s one of the few midfielders in this country who runs forward without the ball. He either does it to score himself or to create for someone else. Against Hearts last week, Arfield’s run gets Rangers the first goal.

It gave Ryan Kent half a pitch to get his cross in because it pre-occupied Michael Smith before Colak scored with a header. It all came from Arfield’s forward run. He didn’t even touch the ball but he affects players around him. And he’s the only player on Rangers’ books who does it.

Liverpool do it every week. When a red shirt has time on the ball, there is a forward run and a threat in behind. More often than not, they play the pass. Because if it doesn’t hit its target, they’re ready
