Giovanni van Bronckhorst says he is likely to be without Ridvan Yilmaz for a couple of weeks after injuring his hamstring against Aberdeen.
It was a much-needed win for the Light Blues as they trounced Jim Goodwin's men 4-1. Connor Barron put Aberdeen ahead but this didn't look in doubt with Antonio Colak, John Lundstram, James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos goals sealing a good win off the back of a week where they've drew with Livingston and lost to Napoli. Rangers are now a point behind Celtic in the Premiership ahead of their game versus Livingston.
Providing an update on Yilmaz and defender Ben Davies who also went off with a knock, van Bronckhorst said: "Ridvan had the moment in the first 10 minutes and we had to get him off because he felt his hamstring. Ben I didn't want to take any risks. We will have Ridvan out for couple of weeks but Ben, I still don't know."

He wasn't on the scoresheet but attacker Fashion Sakala won praise from his manager after impressing him upon a return to the starting line-up.
Van Bronckhorst added on Sportsound: "He was very good. He was giving us the threat we needed throughout the whole game.
"If you set reaching the standards and keeping consistency in your performances, that is the same for every player. For Fashion as well, if we have our wingers in the game and aggressive, you can see what we can create from that."
