Rangers pair Jermain Defoe and James Tavernier injury doubts for Aberdeen clash

Rangers captain James Tavernier and frontman Jermain Defoe are injury doubts for Sunday's Ibrox clash with Aberdeen.

Right-back Tavernier jarred a knee in training on Thursday while veteran striker Defoe is struggling with muscle tightness, although boss Steven Gerrard is hopeful both will pull through.

Top-scorer Alfredo Morelos serves the final leg of his four-game ban but Ryan Kent returns from the suspension he received after last month's Old Firm clash.

Graham Dorrans could make his return from a long-term knee injury before the end of the season but Jamie Murphy will have to wait until next campaign for his own comeback.

Kyle Lafferty and Gareth McAuley reportedly among Rangers stars Steven Gerrard brands an 'embarrassment' after Liverpool U23 game  

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