Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent Rangers injury update ahead of Celtic clash

Michael Beale has provided a Rangers injury update ahead of Sunday's Scottish Cup showdown with Celtic.

The Govan outfit will be aiming to book their place in the final of the competition after winning the trophy under the leadership of Giovanni van Bronckhorst last term.

Ahead of the fixture, Beale has revealed that Connor Goldson, Ryan Kent, Scott Wright and Alex Lowry have all trained.

Their inclusion in Sunday's matchday squad will be determined on their physical reaction to training this week.

Beale said: "It's a huge game we know that, it's been a rough ride this season for the fans. We need to bring the best of ourselves, games have been won and lost on mistakes - the penalty boxes will be decisive and we need to eradicate one or two errors.

"It will be a fantastic atmosphere that showcases Scottish football, a lot of noise and colour.

"Goldson, Wright, Kent and Lowry all trained. We just need to see how they react now and assess after returning today to training.

"Centre-back position has been very unstable throughout the season with injuries. Connor (Goldson) is a big character for our team and always nice to have him back. Stability in key positions is key.

"It is a big opportunity as a player, this weekend is a big opportunity to reach a final. That will to win, that is what you sign up for coming here. We want to go and win the cup. We have to keep moving forward as a club.

"We are much clearer in the decisions we have to make this summer, we know the areas we need to improve and recruit. I think the progress has been made, there is a lot of harmony behind the scenes and I am really positive about the future."
