Confirmed: Four Rangers players now ruled out of Ayr United clash due to injury
Philippe Clement has issued an update on the Rangers side ahead of the game against Ayr United in the Scottish Cup on Saturday, 10 February.
Gers hosted United at Ibrox and will go into the game as clear favourites.
They will be without Kemar Roofe, Danilo, Leon Balogun,
and Tom Lawrence, all of whom are injured and unavailable for selection.
Clement stated, “Ben Davies is back in for selection. Tom Lawrence will not be in the squad,
although this is more of a precaution, as was the case with Jack midweek,
to provide adequate recovery in between minutes. Ryan Jack is back on the squad.
“With a history of injuries, we need to be cautious with players,
and there is open communication between medical personnel and the players.
“Leon (Balogun) went to consult a specialist; I expect him back next week.
“I’m not sure if it’s Ross County or the weekend, but he’ll return with a mask.
“Sometimes you need a few sessions to get comfortable in the mask.”
Rangers are big favourites against Ayr United.
Rangers approach the fifth round match against Ayr United as clear favourites,
riding high on a seven-game winning streak and impressing under Clement.
With recent League Cup victories and a strong campaign for the Premiership title,
Glasgow have established themselves as a dominant force in Scottish football.
Furthermore, they have won prior matches versus United, which strengthens their position even more.
Rangers must avoid complacency and not underestimate their opponents.
Despite their recent setback to Dundee United,
Ayr United should not be overlooked, especially with the appointment of new manager Scott Brown.
Dujon Sterling’s suspension, as well as the unavailability of others due to injury,
might offer issues for Clement’s side. Furthermore,
Ayr United may attempt to exploit any weaknesses in the Gers defenders and set-piece scenarios, so it is critical to avoid complacency.
