Plans all for after international break

Your can sense Brendan has been managing his squad through testing times in the hope of having his most important players available for after this month’s international break.

I suspect Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor and Cameron Carter-Vickers will all declare themselves fit, no matter how true their claims are.

The manager knows how to win at Ibrox, he’s done it often enough. With Reo, Callum and Cameron on the field he will expect to do the same next month.

Callum and Cameron have enormous natural fitness, they reach peak form straight after a break. Reo less so. He has missed so much football this season it will take him time to hit form. At most, he’ll have 90 minutes.
