Four Rangers stars ruled out against Kilmarnock as Clement provides injury update

Philippe Clement has revealed up to six first-team Rangers players could miss the match against Kilmarnock.

The Ibrox boss provided an injury update after the international break as four players were ruled out of any involvement.

Ianis Hagi is out of contention due to being suspended after being sent off on his return to the first-team fold at Ibrox.

Oscar Cortes still faces another few weeks on the treatment table with Ridvan Yilmaz closing in on a return to training ahead of Rabbi Matondo rejoining his team-mates following injury issues.

Striker Danilo is back training at Auchenhowie but it is not certain he will be fit enough for this weekend.

Clement confirmed: "Hagi is suspended. Cortes will be out for several weeks.

"Ridvan I expect back in training next week, Matondo later on next week or the following week.

"Danilo is back training with the squad - we will see how fit he is for the weekend."

Fortunately for Clement, there were no new injuries sustained during the international break. Ross McCausland, though, is a doubt to face Kilmarnock due to an injury before the pause.

The winger suffered a "small issue" but could still play this weekend dependent on his condition in the next couple of days.

"Luckily, no injuries from international duty," said Clement.

"The only one is Ross (McCausland) but he had a small issue before the break, he is back in training but not certain to be available."
