Rangers and Hearts both without strikers for game at Ibrox

Uche Ikpeazu will miss Hearts’ trip to Ibrox tonight after a head knock against Aberdeen at the weekend but should be fine for Saturday’s Edinburgh derby

Full-backs Ben Garuccio, Demetri Mitchell (both knee) and Michael Smith (thigh) remain on the sidelines while forward Steven Naismith is still out after knee surgery.

Centre-back Clevid Dikamona (knee) remains a doubt but Levein has no fresh injuries other than Ikpeazu.

Provisional Hearts squad: Zlamal, Godinho, Brandon, Berra, Souttar, Shaughnessy, Mulraney, Bozanic, Djoum, Lee, Clare, Haring, Morrison, Wighton, MacLean, Vanecek, Keena, Doyle.

Alfredo Morelos begins a four-game suspension when Rangers host Hearts in the Ladbrokes Premiership at Ibrox on Wednesday after being sent off for the fifth time this season in the 2-1 defeat by Celtic on Sunday.

The on-loan attacker has until 3pm on Wednesday to respond and, if he challenges it, he will be available, while left-back Borna Barisic (hamstring) remains out with long-term absentees Jamie Murphy and Graham Dorrans (both knee) continuing their rehabilitation work.

Provisional Rangers squad: McGregor, Tavernier, Flanagan, Goldson, Katic, Worrall, McCrorie, Kamara, Jack, Arfield, Coulibaly, Davis, Candeias, Kent, Defoe, Lafferty, Grezda, Foderingham.
