Reason for Tom Lawrence Rangers vs St Johnstone absence as Balogun & Wright injured

Tom Lawrence misses Rangers' Premier Sports Cup tie against St Johnstone through illness, Philippe Clement has confirmed.

The Ibrox boss has revealed the midfielder was unavailable for selection due to sickness.

Leon Balogun and Scott Wright also miss the match due to muscle injuries - however Clement suggested it was precautionary with the knocks minor.

As previously admitted by Clement, Ridvan Yilmaz is set for a spell on the sidelines after an injury against Dynamo Kyiv, therefore he is not involved either.

On Rangers TV, Clement explained: "I had to make some changes. Tom Lawrence is sick.

"Then we have Leon Balogun and Scott Wright who have small muscle problems, nothing big but too dangerous to play with. 

"Ridvan got the injury against Kyiv."
