Rangers injury update on Matondo as van Bronckhorst announces Yilmaz Champions League chances

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed both Rabbi Matondo and Ridvan Yilmaz will fly with them to Belgium today.

The Light Blues take on Belgian First Division side Union St Gilloise on Tuesday night in Champions League third round qualifying first leg action, looking to kickstart their campaign to reach the group stages with a win ahead of taking on hosting duties next week. Yilmaz has only just signed from Besiktas while Matondo missed Saturday's Premiership win at Livingston with a minor injury.

Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos also missed that match, with van Bronckhorst confirming his Turkish and Welsh internationals are heading with Rangers into continental battle: "Matondo trained with the team as did Rıdvan yesterday. Both can travel with us this afternoon. I've played many times in the Champions League and have coached in it, one of the strongest competitions in the world and it would be fantastic for us to be involved.
