Aaron Ramsey in Rangers vs Celtic fitness fight as Rob Page admits he 'struggled' at end of Wales clash

Wales boss Rob Page has revealed Aaron Ramsey is "struggling" with an injury - and WON'T start against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

The Rangers star has suffered a stunted start to life at Ibrox with fitness issues limiting him to just three starts so far.

One of those came against Dundee however in the final game before the international break and it appeared he had overcome his hamstring problem when he came through 90 minutes for Wales against Austria.

But Wales boss Page admits both he and star turn Gareth Bale were "struggling" with respective issues towards the end of the game.

Rangers are due to face Celtic in the key Premiership derby at the weekend.

But Page says both he and Bale are unfit to start against the Czechs just five days before that pivotal clash.

He told Sky Sports: "They both struggled towards the end of the game. You could see both of them were holding their groins and hamstrings.

"They both had a tough 95 minutes. We'll have another night tonight and we'll make that decision in the morning whether we involve them in the 23.

"They're not going to start, so it's whether they're in the 23."
