The implication seems to be that he will be playing a strong side in order to bring the silverware back to Ibrox.

This stance comes despite Rangers’ battle for the SPFL title, as they are currently seven points behind their Old Firm rivals with a game in hand.
With that in mind, FFC has predicted the side that Gerrard could deploy against Hamilton, including three changes from the 2-1 win over Hibernian.
Wes Foderingham played Rangers’ last Scottish FA Cup game, a 2-0 win against Stanraer, so could be set to come in between the sticks for Allan McGregor once again.
Borna Barisic, George Edmundson and James Tavernier all keep their places in the team from the Hibernian game. The remaining centre-back is the most noteworthy inclusion of this trio, as he looks to continue the positive momentum gained from scoring the equaliser against Hibernian.
Connor Goldson comes out of the team to be replaced by Nikola Katic, who was omitted from the side that beat Hibernian, having started the previous eight games – this does not suggest that Goldson will be out of the league side, but could perhaps be an audition for who gets to play alongside him.

Ianis Hagi is also given an opportunity to continue his form after scoring the winner against Hibs, while Scott Arfield also stays in the team.
Glen Kamara was dropped to the bench in the last game, having started the previous eight matches, so could come in for Steven Davis in an attempt to win his place back.
Joe Aribo and Ryan Kent both continue on the wings, while Alfredo Morelos remains as the figurehead of the Rangers attack.
Meanwhile, Rangers fans have noted a massive moment for the club.
