on 8 January that having spoken to SFA disciplinary chiefs, they clarified that Propper would not join stand-in Gers captain Nico Raskin on the sidelines against Dundee on Thursday (9 January)
A Sky Sports graphic during the Bears’ 3-3 draw with Hibernian on 5 January implied that both Raskin and Propper would miss the clash at Dens Park after receiving their sixth yellow cards of the campaign.
While Raskin won’t feature against the Dees, Sunday’s draw at Easter Road being their 20th Premiership match of the season means the bookings threshold has now doubled to 12, sparing Propper of a ban.With Philippe Clement in desperate need of a victory at Dens Park on Thursday as he looks to address the Gers’ pitiful away form, he’ll need as many players available as possible in order to claim three points.Missing Raskin in the engine room will be a huge blow – not least because Clement will have to pick yet another stand-in Light Blues captain – given the form he’s shown at the base of midfield recently.Propper – who has had a very mixed start to life at Ibrox – has lined up alongside utility man Dujon Sterling in recent matches, with youngster Leon King also making his long-awaited return at Easter Road.
