Giovanni van Bronckhorst provides Rangers injury update on Ryan Jack and Kemar Roofe

Giovanni van Bronckhorst provides Rangers injury update on Ryan Jack and Kemar Roofe

GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has provided an injury update on Ryan Jack and Kemar Roofe after the pair were absent for Wednesday night's win over Ross County.

Roofe is battling back to full fitness as he aims to make the Europa League final against Frankfurt next week.

Jack has been a constant performer in recent weeks, but was not involved in the Ibrox squad at all against County.

Van Bronckhorst explained: “Roofe is going to be a close call, we’re working day by day. Jack is ahead of him, he will be ready I think for the final.”

Rangers signed off at Ibrox for the season with a routine 4-1 win over Ross County.

On a night when Old Firm rivals Celtic officially wrestled the cinch Premiership title back with a 1-1 draw against Dundee United at Tannadice, the Light Blues kept things ticking along towards Seville.

Attacker Scott Wright opened the scoring in the 13th minute before skipper James Tavernier won and converted a penalty in the 28th minute.

Although Staggies substitute Jordan White reduced the deficit in the 72nd minute with a terrific finish, Rangers substitutes Fashion Sakala and Amad Diallo struck late on.

While there remains one final league match versus Scottish Cup final opponents Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday, all the Rangers focus is on the Europa League final against Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt next Wednesday night before they face the Jambos in the Hampden Park showpiece three days later.
