Rangers youngster's Dundee United chance as squad for clash revealed

Alex Lowry could celebrate his new Rangers contract with a starting slot against Dundee United this afternoon.

The Uddingston teen put pen to paper on a contract extension with the Ibrox club yesterday, keeping him in Govan until 2025.

And with champions-elect Celtic having all but wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title, Gers gaffer Gio van Bronckhorst could ring the changes as he looks to rest up his squad ahead of their Europa League Final with Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville on May 18.

Lowry is looking for only his second Premiership outing having played in a 1-0 win over Livingston at Ibrox in January.

The 18-year-old midfielder made his first team debut earlier that month in a Scottish Cup win over Stirling Albion and has been a standout performer for the club's B team in the Lowland League this term as well.

His performances have seen him called into the first-team squad on a regular basis since and he has also been on the bench as Rangers enjoyed Scottish Cup semi-final success over Celtic recently and during the club's incredible run to the Europa League final.

And now could be the time to hand him more first team experience.

The provisional squad for today's 3pm kick-off has been revealed and the players in contention are as follows:

Allan McGregor

Jon McLaughlin

Robby McCrorie

James Tavernier

Connor Goldson

Leon Balogun

Calvin Bassey

Leon King

Borna Barisic

Glen Kamara

Steven Davis

James Sands

John Lundstram

Ryan Jack

Scott Arfield

Joe Aribo

Alex Lowry

Scott Wright

Fashion Sakala

Amad Diallo

Aaron Ramsey

The clash with Dundee United is also expected to see Rangers fans pay tribute to legendary kitman Jimmy Bell.

The Wishaw man passed away on Tuesday and supporters have been encouraged to wear retro kits to
