Rangers vs Aberdeen squad mystery as Ibrox duo Cortes and Dowell missing

Oscar Cortes and Kieran Dowell are missing from Philippe Clement's Rangers squad for the match against Aberdeen.

The duo were not named in the matchday squad for the Scottish Premiership clash on Wednesday evening.

Both Cortes and Dowell had featured in the official club gallery from training on Tuesday ahead of the clash against Aberdeen but neither will be included at Ibrox.

Clement was not quizzed on the absence of Dowell or Cortes in his pre-match interview with BBC Scotland or the official club broadcast.

Rabbi Matondo is also not present in the squad having been on the bench for the win over St Johnstone.

The Belgian boss did welcome James Tavernier and Leon Balogun back into the squad this evening after injury issues saw the pair sidelined.

However, both defenders were only fit enough to be named on the bench having only trained once since their return from injury.

Clement is still without John Souttar, Nana Kasanwirjo, Jack Butland and Tom Lawrence through injury.
