Rangers FC news round-up: Fitness updates ahead of Leipzig tie, Bell tribute detailed & Champions League income projected

Rangers FC news round-up: Fitness updates ahead of Leipzig tie, Bell tribute detailed & Champions League income projected

WE'RE just one day away from Rangers' biggest game in several years. 

A semi-final decider with RB Leipzig for a place in the Europa League final is at stake. 

Here are the top stories from Wednesday, May 4...

Injury update ahead of Leipzig clash

GIOVANNI van Brocnkhorst has revealed he's unsure whether Kemar Roofe or Aaron Ramsey will be fit to face RB Leipzig.

Rangers host the Bundesliga side in the second-leg of the Europa League semi-final at Ibrox tomorrow night.

But Van Bronckhorst is still waiting to discover if he's clear to include Roofe and Ramsey in the squad for the crucial Euro showdown.

Tribute to Jimmy Bell detailed

RANGERS have confirmed a minute's silence will be held in memory of Jimmy Bell ahead of the RB Leipzig match.

The Ibrox club will honour the life of legendary kit man Bell with the one minute of silence before the Europa League semi-final second-leg fixture.

Rangers chiefs announced Bell had passed away yesterday as tributes were paid to the club hero from across Scottish football.

Champions League income projected

UEFA confirmed earlier this week that Russian clubs won't play in next season's European club competitions, meaning the Scottish Premiership winners will advance straight to the Champions League group stage.

Celtic are in prime position to seal the top-flight title and the Champions League group stage spot along with the major financial boost that comes with continental qualification.

Ange Postecoglou's side sit six-points clear of Rangers with three matches left in the league season - and they also boast a significant goal difference advantage over their city rivals.
