Rangers vs Aberdeen latest injury news: 9 out and 3 doubts for Ibrox battle – gallery

Glasgow Rangers welcome Aberdeen to Ibrox on Wednesday,

hoping to narrow the gap on Premiership leaders Celtic.

On Saturday, the Light Blues defeated Livingston convincingly, 3-0.

This reduced the deficit at the top to three points, with Rangers having a game in hand,

as Celtic drew 1-1 with the Dons.

It implies that if the Light Blues win by three goals on Tuesday,

Philippe Clement will be able to win his first title as manager. Celtic face Hibernian on Wednesday.

Neil Warnock will take over as manager of Aberdeen, replacing the Belgian.

The former Leeds United and Sheffield United boss has been appointed as interim Dons manager till the conclusion of the season.

Before the game, Glasgow World takes you through the latest injury news and doubts for the Ibrox clash,

with some on the comeback trail just falling short of this encounter.

1. OUT: Ryan Jack

The former Dons midfielder won’t be facing his former club as Clement takes precautions with the Scotland international amid recent injuries.

2. OUT: Danilo (Rangers)

Brazilian frontman damaged his medial ligament against Hearts back in early December and won’t feature for a number of weeks still.

3. OUT: Abdallah Sima (Rangers)

Impressive Brighton loanee Sima “will be out long-term” according to the information Clement has been given after picking up a thigh injury in training with Senegal at the AFCON tournament.

4. DOUBT: Stefan Gartenmann

The centre-back is in a fitness race against time to make the match at Ibrox for Warnock’s first game in charge.

5. OUT: Leon Balogun

Rangers’ Balogun was taken off injured against Livingston and will miss the Dons game as he seeks clarity on his facial injury

6. OUT: Slobodan Rubezic

Aberdeen’s Slobodan Rubezic went off injured against St Johnstone and won’t be involved against Rangers.

7. OUT: Kemar Roofe (Rangers)

Jamaican striker is no closer to making a comeback after breaking down against St Johnstone just before Christmas.

8. DOUBT: James McGarry (Aberdeen)

The defender has had an injury-hit time since arriving at Pittodrie and wasn’t involved against Celtic, having not played since December

9. OUT: Kieran Dowell (Rangers)

Clement confirmed the attacking midfielder “had his operation” and “everything went well”. Expected to sit out for the next two months at least.

10. OUT: Ben Davies (Rangers)

The central defender is “still not available” and no timescale has been given on a possible return date but his minor knock is only said to be a “short-term” issue. This game will come too early for him.

11. OUT: Alex Lowry

The midfielder has returned from a loan at Hearts but was expected to be sent back out for more experience. Injury has left him in limbo and he won’t feature here.
