Niko Kranjcar out of Rangers' Old Firm Cup clash

21 October 2016 08:07

Rangers will be without playmaker Niko Kranjcar when they face Old Firm rivals Celtic in Sunday's Betfred Cup semi-final showdown.

The Croatian suffered a serious knee injury in a freak training ground injury earlier this week and could be ruled out for months to come if the problem is as bad as Gers chiefs fear.

Boss Mark Warburton welcomes Jordan Rossiter (calf) back into his squad but has concerns over Danny Wilson (thigh) ahead of the Hampden clash. Joey Barton is still serving a club suspension.

Provisional squad: Foderingham, Tavernier, Hill, Kiernan, Senderos, Crooks, Wilson, Wallace, Halliday, Rossiter, Holt, Windass, Miller, McKay, Garner, Waghorn, Forrester, Dodoo, Hodson, Bates, O'Halloran, Gilks.
