Rangers injury news update ahead of Celtic derby clash

Philippe Clement has provided an injury update on his Rangers squad ahead of tomorrow's Old Firm derby.

The Ibrox side make the short journey across Glasgow tomorrow lunchtime to face arch-rivals Celtic in the first meeting between the sides in the Scottish Premiership this season.

And it's good news in terms of squad selection for the Belgian, with the majority of his squad fit and ready to go. 

Ridvan Yilmaz remains out, but everyone else is back available, including Oscar Cortes, who is back in training.

The manager did provide an update on his deadline day signings, saying: "Nedim Bajrami paperwork is not fully completed, so will not be available. Neraysho Kasanwirjo is an option for selection but has had limited time to train."

Meanwhile, Todd Cantwell has claimed Rangers has changed since he signed for the club in January 2022.

The English midfielder arrived under Michael Beale's management but asked to leave after deciding he no longer wanted to remain in Scottish football at the start of the summer.

Since then, he's been frozen out of the Ibrox squad awaiting a new club to swoop.

Blackburn Rovers emerged on deadline day with a £500k fee that was enough to get the deal done.

And now Cantwell has taken to the social media platform Instagram twice in 24 hours to make comments about his time in Govan.

Last night, he thanked fans and asked them not to believe everything in the media, but this morning he began to offer more insight into the thought process behind his departure, hinting all was not well behind the scenes between him and manager Clement.

Posting on Instagram, Cantwell stated: "It's been an honour to play for this incredible football club, some of the staff behind the scenes are the hardest of workers but also incredible people.

"I have enjoyed every moment of playing in the famous blue and 100 per cent every time I did. I never and would never say I didn't want to play for the club and that was never my decision.

"Me and my family are Rangers for life. I signed for a different Rangers than the one that I leave. Mon the Gers."
