Michael Beale provides Rangers injury update ahead of Celtic clash

Michael Beale has provided an injury update on his Rangers squad ahead of tomorrow's Old Firm derby.

Celtic will make the short trip across Glasgow to face the Light Blues at Ibrox on Saturday lunchtime.

Ange Postecoglou's side are already Premiership champions heading into the sixth and final derby encounter of the season.

Beale has yet to get a win over the Australian during his time as permanent Rangers manager.

And he's given a fitness update on his squad ahead of the game, as well as touching upon the situation with Alfredo Morelos.

He said: "Ben (Davies) misses out. Ryan (Kent) has not returned to training as still has an issue. Jack comes back in which is great.

"Alfredo is available for selection, our relationship is honest and there are no issues there.

"Alfredo is robust, I feel he could have made a more positive impact last week but we are fine - no drama and he has been great in training this week.

"He is keen to keep showcasing what he can do in his time at Rangers.

"I know these players well, each individual situation is different and all the conversations on the future have been had in private. The way we speak is open and honest with all the players."

Beale also confirmed who will play between the sticks for his side following Robby McCrorie's outing against Aberdeen last time out. 

He added: "The team will look a bit different from the last derby so there should be a lot of energy.

"Robby will play, I have a lot of faith in him. He was missing with injury a lot of my time here and now he can showcase what he has. He was excellent last week."
