Rangers v Hearts XI's confirmed as teenager settles for bench spot despite Giovanni van Bronckhorst statement
dailyrecord.co.ukThe team news is in from Hampden as Rangers take on Hearts in this year's Scottish Cup final - with Uddingston's Alex Lowry in the Ibrox squad.Light Blues boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst had said pre-match he intended to get the teenage midfielder minutes in this one after scoring against the Jambos in their final league game of this season last week.He has to settle for that to come from the bench as Steven Davis comes into midfield for Glen Kamara, with Jon McLaughlin, Leon Balogun and Amad Diallo also started.Gorgie manager Robbie Neilson meanwhile names former Motherwell and Albion Rovers goalkeeper Ross Stewart on the bench.Van Bronckhorst's side are looking to put Wednesday's Europa League final heartbreak behind them at Hampden.But they'll need to do so against a Hearts side who finished one place behind them in this year's Premiership after a strong campaign shot them into third.Both sides haven't got their hands on this honour since 2009 and 2012 respectively so desire to end this term strongly is high.
