James Tavernier's Rangers return glimmer of hope as captain's Celtic clash status revealed

James Tavernier has an "outside chance" of returning in action against Celtic in the Scottish Cup.

The bitter rivals face off in the fourth round on April 17 after the Ibrox men breezed past Cove Rangers 4-0 last weekend.

Tavernier suffered a knee injury in the Europa League last 16 first leg against Antwerp that has kept him out of action since February 18.

Steven Gerrard revealed his skipper is training alone on the grass and has a slim shot of being involved in the upcoming cup tie against their greatest rivals.

He said: "I'd say he's got an outside chance, James, of being involved against Celtic.

"He is still outside in a one-v-one capacity with the physio but he is progressing pretty well."

Rangers are still awaiting news on Ryan Jack 's visit to see specialists over his calf problem.

"In terms of Ryan, we are waiting on some news today, we have been back and forth with a couple of specialists over the last couple of days," Gerrard said.

"He has still been doing his thing with the physios and the medical team here but we are hoping for some positive news."
