Giovanni van Bronckhorst confirms double Rangers injury blow ahead of Ajax clash

GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst has confirmed Rangers will be without first-team duo Ridvan Yilmaz and Ben Davies for the Champions League clash against Ajax.

The Ibrox boss offered an injury update ahead of tomorrow night's group stage finale with the pair ruled out of action.

While there is no timeline for Davies' return to action, Van Bronckhorst stated it would be after the World Cup break before Yilmaz would feature again for Rangers.

And Van Bronckhorst will also have to contend without John Lundstram with the midfielder serving a suspension after a yellow card last week against Napoli.

But in more positive news, Glen Kamara will return to the squad for the home match against Ajax.

Van Bronckhorst confirmed: "Kamara is back. Davies and Ridvan are not available.

"Lundstram also misses out with suspension with a card from last week."

Pushed on a timeline for Yilmaz, Van Bronckhorst added: "Ridvan has a hamstring injury and won't feature again before the World Cup break."

Yilmaz was expected to miss the match after being forced off in the win over Aberdeen at the weekend.

The full-back started ahead of Borna Barisic but had to be replaced after an early injury blow.

Davies, meanwhile, was withdrawn at the break but is not fit enough to take part in tomorrow night's match.
