On-loan Liverpool winger Ryan Kent starts for Rangers after the Ibrox club decided not to accept a two-match suspension for knocking Celtic captain Scott Brown to the ground during Sunday's Old Firm derby defeat.

Striker Alfredo Morelos does miss out as he starts a four-game suspension after his red card - his fifth of the season - while Andy Halliday is also absent after receiving a second yellow card after the final whistle.

Halliday has been deputising at left-back and, with Borna Barisic still injured, it means a start for Jon Flanagan.

Rangers' two on-loan veterans - Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe and Southampton midfielder Steven Davis - come into the side along with Glen Kamara as midfielders Daniel Candeias and Ross McCrorie dropping to the bench.

As expected, Hearts are without striker Uche Ikpeazu, who suffered a head knock after scoring Saturday's winner against Aberdeen, while winger Jake Mulraney drops to the bench.

In come defender Marcus Godinho and midfielder Oliver Bozanic, which sounds like manager Craig Levein is going for a move defensive formation.

Just one change for Aberdeen, with 18-year-old midfielder Dean Campbell making his first league start at Pittodrie in place of Greg Stewart.

Motherwell also opt for a single alteration as Carl McHugh takes over from Alex Rodriguez-Gorrin.
