admin“BAD NEWS”-Rangers Injury Latest: Danny Rohl May be Without 4 Stars vs Celtic Amid ‘Small Injury’
Rangers F.C. are gearing up for what could be their most pivotal match of the campaign this weekend as they welcome fierce city rivals Celtic F.C.. With both clubs chasing down Heart of Midlothian F.C. in the Scottish Premiership title race, Sunday’s showdown could prove decisive.
Under the guidance of Danny Röhl, Rangers currently sit four points adrift of Hearts but hold a two-point advantage over Celtic.
The Hoops still have a game in hand, yet the landscape of the title battle could shift dramatically after the Old Firm clash. Victory for the Gers would move them five points clear of their rivals, provided results elsewhere go in their favour.
The last meeting between the sides in January saw Youssef Chermiti net twice to secure an important win for Röhl’s men.
Chermiti is expected to be available again, offering a timely boost ahead of the contest at Ibrox.
However, Rangers are dealing with several injury concerns.
Dujon Sterling is a major doubt after missing the recent match against Livingston, and his availability for Sunday remains uncertain. Röhl also revealed that Ryan Naderi was unable to train prior to the Livingston fixture, limiting him to a substitute appearance.
Speaking last week, Röhl explained that Sterling is nursing a minor issue, while Naderi’s lack of training disrupted his rhythm and influenced selection decisions.
Elsewhere, Bailey Rice, Derek Cornelius, and Connor Barron are all unlikely to feature, though there has been some positive news. Cornelius has resumed training following surgery in November, but a return this weekend appears premature.
Rice remains sidelined with what Röhl previously described as a long-term problem, while Barron—initially ruled out for three months in early January—could be in contention again around the start of April.
