Graeme Murty’s Rangers side head to Parkhead to take on Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic in the Old Firm Derby on Sunday.

Wes Foderingham of Rangers looks on during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers FC and Celtic FC at Ibrox Stadium on September 23, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

A report from the Daily Record has outlined a major blow for Rangers ahead of their clash with Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday, with the news that Wes Foderingham will miss the game with a shoulder injury.

The Gers head into the Old Firm clash with the task of stopping Celtic from winning their seventh consecutive Scottish Premiership title, and they can cut the gap on the leaders to just seven points with a win, although there are only three games remaining after the match.

Their task of stopping the Hoops juggernaut appears to have just been made that little bit harder, however.

The Daily Record report that their number one stopper Wes Foderingham will not only miss the Celtic clash with a shoulder injury, but that he will miss the rest of the season, with Graeme Murty being forced to turn to Jak Alnwick.

The Gers have not won an Old Firm game over the course of 90 minutes since March 2012, and Murty will be desperate to guide his side to a win over the Hoops, what with his future as manager at Ibrox still up in the air.

The game kicks off at 12:00 on Sunday and can be seen exclusively live on Sky Sports.
