Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has delivered a positive injury update ahead of his side’s trip from Ibrox to Red Star Belgrade on Thursday night. The Gers boast a 3-0 lead from their Europa League first-leg clash.
It has been a stellar campaign for the Gers in Europe, with van Bronckhorst getting his tactics spot on so far. Two stunning performances saw Rangers knock Dortmund out at the play-off stage – winning 6-4 on aggregate.
Then, last Thursday, Rangers produced another masterclass at Ibrox. Goals from James Tavernier, Alfredo Morelos and Leon Balogun saw the Gers boast a three-goal lead going to what will be a hostile clash in Serbia.
Red Star were somewhat unlucky, having three goals disallowed due to offside and then missing a penalty – Allan McGregor once again proving age is just a number. Van Bronckhorst gave an injury update ahead of Thursday.
The Dutch gaffer confirmed that he will have everyone available, apart from long-term absentee Ianis Hagi and veteran midfielder Steven Davis. Aaron Ramsey, Ryan Jack, Filip Helander and more, are all available.
Van Bronckhorst update: Rangers boost ahead of Red Star clash
Hagi is out for the season and realistically, the form of the returning Jack and the improvement of John Lundstram would see Davis struggle to start. The real boost is that Ramsey is looking the fittest he has been.
He started against Dundee on the weekend and lasted 80 minutes in the 3-0 win. While Greg Stewart thinks he will be on the bench, he could make his sixth outing for Rangers on Thursday night – his experience will be crucial.
