Heart of Midlothian Face Young Rangers in CAS Elite League Clash
Malky Thomson has named two changes to his Rangers Under-19s side for this afternoon's CAS Elite League clash against Heart of Midlothian at the Rangers Training Centre, presented by Park's Motor Group.

The backline will be made up of Patton, James Reid, captain Conor Owen, and Lyle Wark. In midfield, Ben Hutton will anchor the engine room, where he is joined by Calum Young and Luca Rankin. Gentles replaces Ruaridh Hall to lead the line in attack, and he is supported on either flank by Coben Fergusson and Callum Burnside.
The substitutes for the match include Jaden Millarvie, Corey Ngwenya, Cameron Fernie, Hall, Daniel Owoyomi, and 15-year-old Cody Mensing. Kick-off in Milngavie is 3:30pm, and you can stay up to date with the action on X @RFC_Youth.
