Giovanni van Bronckhorst has issued a positive injury update on Tom Lawrence - but revealed John Souttar and Filip Helander are not close to a return.
The Rangers summer signing hasn't featured since picking up a knock against Ross County but he could be back for the clash with Hearts after the international break with the Dutchman revealing he has a 'good chance' of being available again by that point.
However, things are not as positive for defensive duo Souttar and Helander with a return for them not any time soon. The Scotland international - who arrived on a pre-contract from Robbie Neilson's Jambos - featured regularly in pre-season and in the opening day win over Livingston but hasn't played since. Big Swede Helander is a more long-term injury and he is still recovering. Striker Kemer Roofe is another on the sidelines with his return to first team action up in the air with Van Bronckhorst delivering a 'have to see' verdict on the hitman.
