Michael Beale has explained the reasons behind Rangers not having the services of Antonio Colak or Leon King against Hibs.
The Light Blues boss got off to a winning start as his side came from behind twice to secure a comeback win in a five-goal thriller in the freezing cold in Govan. Ryan Porteous and Kevin Nisbet twice fired the visitors ahead at Ibrox but goals from Fashion Sakala, Ryan Jack and Alfredo Morelo s ensured the new regime got off to the perfect start and with that reduced Celtic's lead at the top of the Premiership table to six points ahead of their trip to Aberdeen.
John Lundstram was forced to fill in at centre-back with Ben Davies only fit enough for the bench and a run out in the final couple of minutes while Connor Goldson also missed out completely. The boss teased both could be included in his squad this evening but the game came too early as he opened up on his absentees in his post-match press conference. Top goalscorer Colak and King - who earlier penned a long-term deal to stay at the club - also both were not included at all in the match day squad.
