Leon Balogun Rangers injury confirmed as defender likely to miss crunch Celtic clash

Leon Balogun will likely MISS tomorrow's clash with Celtic with injury.

The Rangers defender has been deputising for the injured Connor Goldson in recent weeks since he took the spot against Hearts in the Scottish Cup semi-final. Goldson has since been ruled out for the season and that allowed Balogun to get a run in the team.

The Nigerian, however, has also picked up a knock and it is now likely to be Ben Davies drafted in at Parkhead to play from the start as manager Philippe Clement is forced to reshuffle his pack. He said: "No, nothing new, only Leon Balogun is doubtful. Not sure yet if he will be available or not, we'll see tomorrow.

"The rest, Connor Goldson is still out, Ryan Jack still not fit enough, he took some minutes with the 18s to get with them again after a long-term injury, Alex Lowry was the same. Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, Abdallah Sima and Danilo still out so it's quite a list."
