Michael Beale details Rangers injury update ahead of Celtic clash

Michael Beale has delivered a fitness update on his squad ahead of Sunday's Old Firm game.

The Ibrox side could leapfrog their arch-Glasgow rivals to the summit of the Premiership with a victory.

Rangers trail Brendan Rodgers' men by a single point heading into the match, with neither side hitting their stride at this early point in the season.

Rangers go into the game off the back of a bitterly disappointing 5-1 loss at the hands of PSV on Wednesday night.

Beale's men were knocked out of Champions League qualifying and dropped into the Europa League as a result of the hammering. 

Borna Barisic limped off in that game around the 50-minute mark, and the manager has provided an update on his injury status, as well as other members of the squad ahead of the big derby clash.

He told the media: "Barisic will be fine for the weekend after a scan.

"Roofe and Lawrence both in a fantastic place and in the squad.

"Dowell has the slight issue with his knee he is recovering from so will need to wait and see on that one."
