Ferguson provides Robin Propper injury update ahead of Fenerbahce return leg

Interim Rangers head coach Barry Ferguson has provided an update on the condition of central defender Robin Propper ahead of his side's game against Fenerbahce on Thursday. 

The Dutchman was substituted half an hour into the first leg in Istanbul, with Leon Balogun coming on to replace him. 

The veteran did an amicable job, although it still remains to be seen whether Propper will be fit to come back into the team against Fenerbahce at Ibrox. 

Speaking ahead of the hotly anticipated clash, Ferguson provided the latest: "Robin Propper had a couple of training sessions," he said.

"Ideally, I would love to have everyone available, but I will need to wait and see tomorrow morning if I have a full squad available.

"There are two or three I hope have come through the session today."

Goals from Cyriel Dessers and Vaclav Cerny have Rangers 3-1 up in the tie heading into Thursday. 

The often-maligned centre-forward opened the scoring early doors in Turkiye before Cerny bagged a brace. 

With his side two goals ahead in the tie, Ferguson insists his team will be ready for whatever Fenerbahce throw at them tomorrow: "I know what is like here on European nights," he said. 

"As a footballer, you have to want to play in this.

"I can't wait. You have to be excited about this. My group of players are ready."
