hilippe Clement spent his press conference yesterday afternoon complaining about the injury crisis at Ibrox.
And it’s little wonder. The manager was without a number of key stars for his side’s defeat to Celtic on Saturday afternoon and he’ll be without even more later this evening when Dundee arrive in Glasgow on Premiership duty. Some of the club’s biggest hitters can’t be called upon tonight including Dujon Sterling, Tom Lawrence and John Souttar while Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun are also out.
John Lundstram is also missing having been sent off against the Hoops so his suspension begins. That leaves Clement with a threadbare squad.
The Gers’ depth may not be the strongest but they do still have enough in their ranks to put out a decent XI but the Belgian won’t have too many choices to change things up with should it go awry.

Has to get over the Celtic disappointment to improve and push his teammates through their next two fixtures to end the season on a high. There’s momentum to build for the Scottish Cup Final.2 of 11 -

Has come back into the starting XI through necessity recently with Goldson and now Balogun both injured.3 of 1

Leon King
Has only managed four outings for the first-team this season and his last appearance was February. Needs must, though, as Gers are light at the back.4 of 11 -

Came off the bench against Celtic but may well start from kick-off against the Dees.
