The very latest Rangers injury news and potential return dates as Philippe Clement’s side prepare to face Motherwell at Ibrox on Saturday.
The Light Blues passed the Rugby Park test versus Kilmarnock in midweek and will be rewarded with a winnable fixture against the Steelmen in Govan.
Motherwell have won just a handful of games since the beginning of September yet are one of the highest scorers in the Scottish Premiership with 39 goals scored.
Rangers have won both previous meetings against the Lanarkshire men this season and will be expected to do so again given the Ibrox club’s incredible run of form.
Here is the latest Rangers injury news with Clement giving an update on the status of winger Oscar Cortes after he was substituted off against Kilmarnock clutching his hamstring.
