Rangers suffered another major injury blow as Dujon Sterling hobbled off against Hibernian.
The Ibrox utility man had been deployed at centre-back in Edinburgh but was forced off with 70 minutes on the clock.
Sterling was drafted into a central defensive role due to injuries to John Souttar and Leon Balogun.

Now, Sterling has been sidelined with an injury problem at Easter Road as the 25-year-old was unable to continue.
He was replaced by Leon King who made his first appearance for the Ibrox first team this season.
Summer signing Clinton Nsiala was named on the bench for Rangers against Hibs with Philippe Clement's defensive options stretched due to the worsening injury crisis.
