Philippe Clement faces a selection headache when Rangers take on Dundee in the Scottish Premiership.

The Ibrox boss will not be able to call upon seven first-team players for the trip to Dens Park on Thursday night.

 

Six players have been completely ruled out through injury with another suspended. And Dujon Sterling has been listed as a doubt for the midweek match.

 

Nico Raskin is suspended for the match against Dundee after picking up six yellow cards across the first 19 matches in the league this season.

 

The suspension kicks in seven days after the sixth yellow meaning he was free to play against Hibs but will be sidelined on Thursday.

 

More concerning for Clement, though, will be the host of injury issues in his squad at the moment.

 

Goalkeeper Jack Butland is unavailable after being hospitalised over an internal bleed in his leg. He was released from hospital after the scare on Hogmanay but is not ready for selection.

John Souttar and Nana Kasanwirjo remain out with significant injury blows with fellow defenders Leon Balogun and James Tavernier also not fit for action.

 

Tom Lawrence is another first-team player out of contention for the match.

 

On injuries, Clement said in his press conference on Wednesday: “Yeah, too much injury news.

 

“Jack Butland will still be out, John Souttar will still be out, Leon Balogun will still be out, James Tavernier will still be out, Nana Kasanwirjo will still be out and Tom Lawrence will still be out.

 

“Dujon Sterling is a doubt so we will see tomorrow.”

 

The SEVEN players ruled out for Rangers against Dundee

 

Injured: Jack Butland, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, James Tavernier, Nana Kasanwirjo, Tom Lawrence.

 

Suspended: Nico Raskin.
