‘For sure’ – Philippe Clement confirms Rangers ace will definitely miss Dundee Utd game | OneFootball

Rangers will face Dundee United at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

The Gers have suffered two defeats in their last five Scottish Premiership games, and they are nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen at the top.

Rangers have suffered a major injury blow ahead of the game.

Manager Philippe Clement has confirmed that Neraysho Kasanwirjo will be out for a long spell on the sidelines (h/t Rangers Review).

The 22-year-old defender injured himself after coming on as a substitute for the Netherlands Under-21 side against England.

The Dutchman will visit a surgeon today, but the extent of the injury is still unknown.

Neraysho Kasanwirjo’s injury is a big blow for Rangers

The defender joined Rangers on loan from Feyenoord this summer. He has been playing really well in recent weeks and has proved his quality.

Clement has often used him in the right-back role ahead of Gers skipper James Tavernier.

The news will come as a big blow to the club as they are waiting to find out the severity of the injury.

Rabbi Matondo and Oscar Cortes are also out injured at the moment. However, Cortes could be back next week.

Rangers cannot afford to drop any more points

With no international break coming up until March, this is a period where Rangers need to build momentum.

They have to win all their games in the league to put pressure on the top two.

Dundee Utd picked up their first win in four games before the international break when they defeated Ross County 3-0, and they will be looking to cause an upset at Ibrox.
