Rangers may lack “brilliant” capabilities. Celtic and a 22-year-old hero According to a recent report,

 

Rangers may be without a “brilliant” player for the Scottish League Cup final match against Celtic, which joins John Souttar as an injury concern for the match.Rangers are anxious about Souttar’s physical condition.


 

 

In one of their most impressive performances of the season thus far, Philippe Clement’s team secured a 1-1 draw against Tottenham at home in the Europa League on Thursday night.

 

 

However, the European point at Ibrox was at a cost, as Souttar was forced to leave the game due to an injury before halftime, which raised concerns about the potential long-term absence of one of Rangers’ most critical players.

 

 

The 28-year-old has been a defensive pillar for the Gers in 2024/25, starting 14 games in the Scottish Premiership and six matches in the Europa League. Therefore, his absence for an extended period would be a significant setback.

 

 

That being said, the most critical matter at this time is that Souttar is available for the League Cup final against Celtic on Sunday, as Clement’s team endeavors to surpass their opponents and secure their first trophy of the season.

Rangers may be without their “brilliant” weapon against Celtic.

 

 

After the Spurs match, Clement acknowledged that he is unable to affirm whether Rangers striker Hamza Igamane will be available to play against Celtic.

 

 

Furthermore, the striker is a doubt, along with Souttar. “I am unable to provide any information regarding John and Hamza at this time; therefore, it is too close to the game to comment.”

 

 

I would prefer to be able to do so, as it would also alleviate my anxiety regarding tomorrow. However, this is not feasible. Consequently, we will observe their behavior over the next two days.

 

 

We will not consider the issue of freshness. “We’re going to recover as fast as possible and best as possible and we’re going to throw all our energy into that game at Hampden.”

 

 

Igamane demonstrated his capabilities against Spurs by scoring the opening goal on Thursday evening. Therefore, his exclusion from the weekend’s match against Celtic would be a significant setback for Clement.

 

Derek Ferguson has expressed his admiration for the 22-year-old, who has scored four goals in as many appearances in the Europa League this term and bagged twice in the league. Ferguson has stated, “Igamane is a real breath of fresh air, the young man.”
