Rangers injury update issued ahead of Celtic cup final

Philippe Clement has provided an injury update on his Rangers squad ahead of Sunday's Scottish League Cup final against Celtic.

Both Hamza Igamane and John Souttar were immediate concerns after Thursday's Europa League draw with Tottenham Hotspur. 

The Gers duo hobbled off at varying points in the encounter, with the latter clutching his groin and the former appearing to burn out after putting in an energetic shift against Premier League defenders.

Now, with Danilo and Ianis Hagi back available for selection after being omitted from the Europa League roster, Clement has told the media the latest about his squad's fitness.

The Belgian said: "For the moment I cannot say definite things towards the weekend or the state of the injuries. I can't say anything for the moment because we are waiting on the assessment from the doctor. I know John [Souttar] would give everything to be able to play.

“He’s very, very motivated always for that and for the club and about winning trophies so I know he will give his best, but it needs to be, of course, something that is possible.

"Everyone in the squad has performed when coming into the squad in the past few weeks."
