Rangers squad revealed as Steven Gerrard faces major call for Aberdeen showdown

Rangers will have a lengthy injury list as they head for a tough test against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

Striker Kemar Roofe will be absent after picking up an injury against Celtic.

Manager Steven Gerrard explained at his pre-match press conference: "Kemar won't be with us at the weekend. He picked up an injury in the Old Firm.

"It's difficult to put a date on that one just yet but I predict he could miss a couple of games."

And Roofe joins a number of Rangers stars who will be sidelined.

Scott Arfield has an ankle injury and won't feature again this month while George Edmundson (hip) and Jordan Jones (calf) have joined long-term knee-injury victim Nikola Katic on the casualty list.

Midfielder Ryan Jack is expected to return to training next week but this match will come too early against his former side.

For the hosts Connor McLennan is set to miss out with a foot injury Niall McGinn is a doubt with a calf strain, loan midfielder Ross McCrorie is unavailable against his parent club and Calvin Ramsay is out with an ankle problem.

Dylan McGeouch (groin), Mikey Devlin (ankle), and Tomas Cerny (knee) remain out.
