The very latest Rangers injury news ahead of the club’s return to competitive domestic action in the Scottish Cup against Dumbarton on Saturday.
Philippe Clement addressed the press on Friday as he and his Gers side prepare for the short trip to The Rock at the weekend.
Rangers have been plagued with injury throughout the season but the treatment table has started to clear up a bit now the winter break is approaching its end.
That time was spent in La Manga for a warm weather training camp and playing two friendlies against Hertha Berlin and FC Copenhagen.
Clement provided injury updates on four players pre-Dumbarton and Rangers News can give you the details on them all below.
Before that, what we can assume is that Ryan Jack, Tom Lawrence and Dujon Sterling will all be available for selection in West Dunbartonshire.
Rangers injury latest vs Dumbarton
Kieran Dowell
The attacking midfielder managed to enjoy a decent run in the team before the winter shutdown but unfortunately picked up a serious injury in La Manga.
That was confirmed by Philippe Clement ahead of the FC Copenhagen draw on Tuesday but the boss has provided a further comment on Dowell today.
He said: “It’s not ok. Kieran Dowell got injured in the training camp so he will be out for a while. It’s his ankle so we need to see the best way to treat it in a fast and healthy way.”
Kemar Roofe
The luckless striker is on the sidelines once again and he may not feature again for Rangers until the tail end of the season.
He’s missed the last three Scottish Premiership games after hobbling off against St Johnstone in December and Clement provided a brief update on his situation.
The manager simply said: “Kemar is still injured.”
Danilo
Brazilian striker Danilo is still nursing a serious knee injury and it’s safe to say we won’t see him back for a few months yet.
Clement noted at his Scottish Cup press conference: “Dani will be injured probably until the last weeks of the season, so we don’t expect him much faster back.”
Ben Davies
The English defender hasn’t been in a matchday squad since the Scottish Premiership victory over Dundee in December but Clement says he is close to making a return.
The boss explained: “Ben Davies is the one who is closest to coming back (from injury). All the rest have trained.”
