BELL AND CLARK GET THE NOD CAMMY BELL and Nicky Clark will make their competitive debuts at Ibrox this afternoon having been named in Ally McCoist’s starting XI to face East Fife. The manager has made three changes to his side for today’s League One fixture with Bell taking the place of Scott Gallacher, Nicky Clark in for Dean Shiels and Kyle McAusland also returning to the side due to Andy Little’s knee injury. Both Bell and Clark have had to wait patiently for their chance to play this season because of the club’s transfer embargo but they will be desperate to impress as the Light Blues look to record their fourth league win on the bounce against Willie Aitchison’s men. With Lee McCulloch moving forward to join Clark in attack McAusland will slot in at right back with Seb Faure and Emilson Cribari playing in the middle of the defence and Lee Wallace on the left. There are no changes in midfield with Ian Black and Lewis Macleod in the engine room and David Templeton and Robbie Crawford on the wings. Up top versatile skipper McCulloch will be hoping to form a good partnership with Clark who netted 41 goals in all competitions for Queen of the South in 2012/13 and three of them came from four outings against today’s opponents East Fife. Joining Gallacher and Shiels on the bench this afternoon are Luca Gasparotto, Charlie Telfer, Andy Murdoch, Fraser Aird and Barrie McKay RANGERS (4-4-2): Bell; McAusland, Cribari, Faure, Wallace; Crawford, Black, Macleod, Templeton; McCulloch, Clark SUBS: Gallacher, Shiels, Gasparotto, Telfer, Murdoch, Aird, McKay EAST FIFE (5-4-1): Andrews; Dutot, Thom, Neilson, Mbu, Johnstone; Brown, Willis, J.
