The Ibrox chief takes his Rangers side to Parkhead to take on Celtic on Sunday.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard sat down for an exclusive interview with Rangers TV, and admitted that having Borna Barisic unavailable for Sunday’s clash with Celtic is ‘disappointing’.
The 26-year-old joined the Gers from Croatian outfit Osijek in the summer, and he has gone on to become a key man for his club, make 21 appearances in all competitions for Gerrard’s side.
Rangers will be desperate for all three points against Celtic on Sunday, as they look to close the gap on their bitter rivals back to seven points.
Gerrard will have to make do without the services of Barisic for the Old Firm clash, however, and the 38-year-old told Rangers TV how that is a huge setback for his side:
“Obviously we have had a bit of a setback with Borna, who has a bit of a hamstring problem which makes him a huge doubt for the weekend. So that is disappointing.”
Andy Halliday has filled in at left-back for Rangers before, and he will likely deputise for Barisic at Parkhead on Sunday.
And Gerrard will be hoping that his side do not miss the Croatian too much, with three points an absolute must against Celtic.
