Michael Beale provides positive Rangers injury update ahead of Motherwell

Michael Beale has provided a positive Rangers injury update ahead of tomorrow's clash with Motherwell.

Striking duo Antonio Colak and Kemar Roofe are both back in training, while goalkeeper Allan McGregor is also back to full fitness.

Beale said: "Roofe and Colak have trained so it's up to me if I select them or not. It's fair to say they are not 100 per cent fit because they have been out for a while.

"In Kemar's case a lot longer than Antonio but they have trained the last two days which is pleasing. It's a case of whether I need them now or if I can top them up before a big January, a huge January.

"Allan McGregor is fine. He's just had the sniffles but he's fine now. We've had a few players off with it."

Beale also updated on John Souttar who is expected to return sooner than first expected.

He continued: "John Souttar isn't a million miles away either. We should see him by the back end of January which is great news.

"He is going great guns and is out on the grass now, although he's not training with the team yet. He's in a good place so I'm delighted with that."

Rangers will also be able to call upon Borna Barisic who has returned from the World Cup.

Beale added: "Yes he's been training. He arrived back yesterday. He trained today and looked in a great place.

"He's just had a big experience again getting to another semi-final in his first World Cup. He's come back in a really positive place.

"We are slowly but surely getting back to where we need to be. It's the biggest group of players that I have had since I returned in terms of training."
