Rangers will be without Aaron Ramsey and striker Kemar Roofe for their trip to Motherwell, Europa League semi-final first leg at RB Leipzig and potential title decider against Celtic.
On-loan Juventus midfielder Ramsey was forced off in the first half of their Scottish Cup semi-final win over Old Firm rivals Celtic with a hamstring injury.
Roofe picked up a knee injury in the Hampden Park victory with both now set to miss the Ibrox side’s next three matches.

“We have assessed him (Ramsey) this week and hopefully we’ll have him back around the Leipzig home game,” he said.
