The Light Blues have been shipping far too many goals lately, 13 in their last five games across all competitions, and perhaps it is time for Van Bronckhorst to make a change in his backline ahead of their next set of fixtures after the international break.
Supporters will surely be eager to see more of Souttar, whose Rangers career has yet to truly get up and running, while Helander needs to start proving his fitness if he is to break into the starting line-up.
