I reckon Rangers will get the win, purely because of the home turf advantage. Despite points margin, both teams are fairly level performance wise.

Playing a 4-4-2 I'd choose would be Hutton at right back, Wallace at left back and any combination of Berra, Caldwell and Webster as centre backs. In the middle of the park I think there needs to be balance, with players having different but clearly defined roles. In the centre of midfield I'd like to see McCulloch as a holding midfielder, as he's been criminally underrated in this role. He also offers a great threat in the box at set pieces and can strike the ball exceptionally well. Fletcher is the obvious option to play alongside him, he's our only world class player and can really dictate, box to box. On the right of the midfield I'd play Whittaker, another hugely underrated player who can create from midfield but can get back and support the defence. On the left of midfield McFadden is a bit of a luxury, especially in a 4-4-2 formation but I'd prefer him to Robson. Up front the choice of Boyd and Miller has to be tried, if it doesn't work at international level then we can operate differently during the actual qualifiers.
Playing a 4-5-1 I'd stick with Steven Fletcher or Kenny Miller up front alone and add Scott Brown to midfield.
I would be perfectly happy with the team you've laid out there. I agree with the bolded statements.
