Rangers squad revealed as Aaron Ramsey's continued absence opens door to fringe men

It's second top vs second bottom as Rangers take on St Johnstone in Perth.

And it's another big game for Gio van Bronckhorst and his team as they look to go 10 for 10 in the remainder of the season and push Celtic all the way.

The weekend was a disappointment for Gers who led 2-0 but ended up dropping points to Motherwell - and squandering the chance to cut the gap at the top.

It's a mistake they won't be keen to repeat as we have the unusual scenario of a full Premiership card all kicking off at the same time.

The trip to Perth comes wedged in the midweek between two home games and Van Bronckhorst may well rotate ahead of Saturday's clash with Aberdeen.

But one man he won't be able to turn to is Aaron Ramsey as he confirmed the on-loan midfielder still isn't fit to return.

He said: “I don’t have a clear timeline. Hopefully he’ll be able to join the rest of the team very soon.

“He’s already working on the pitch again so hopefully in the near future we can welcome him back in the squad. Of course we wanted Aaron to be involved more than he is now but the most disappointed is Aaron himself.”

In Ramsey's continued absence John Lundstram may step back into midfield after a rare defensive outing at the weekend but the versatile James Sands will also be knocking at the door.
