Rangers take on Celtic at Ibrox this coming weekend.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told BBC Sport that every player must speak to him to confirm whether or not they can face Celtic on Saturday.
The Gers were in action again today after beating St Johnstone 2-1 on Sunday, but they could only muster a 1-1 draw with Hibernian at Ibrox.
Alfredo Morelos opened the scoring, but Darren McGregor came back to haunt his former club by scoring late on to rescue a point for Hibs.
Celtic are now three points clear of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, and the Gers are a little battered and bruised ahead of their meeting.
Borna Barisic, Gareth McAuley, Scott Arfield and Ryan Kent are already out, and Connor Goldson was substituted through injury against Hibs.
Rangers won’t want to lose their top defender for Saturday’s game, but Gerrard admitted that there are a lot of ‘bumps and bruises’ in the Rangers dressing room right now.
He even added that every player needs to see him individually in order to confirm whether they are in or out of the clash with Celtic, summing up the injury woes at Ibrox right now.
“There’s a lot of ice going on bumps and bruises,” Gerrard said. “But I’ve said to the players we have two options: we feel sorry for ourselves, or we regroup. We have 90 minutes to flip how everyone’s feeling right now. The players all need to come to see me individually in the next couple of days to tell me if they’re in or out,” he added.
