Danny Rohl has been presented with even more hurdles to clear after a handful of injury updates at Rangers.

Rangers beat Dundee 3-0 at Dens Park ahead of the international break, seeing them move up to fourth in the Scottish Premiership table, but still 12 points off league leaders Hearts.

Several players were away on international duty, with Nico Raskin impressing for Belgium as the Red Devils secured World Cup qualification, and John Souttar and Connor Barron doing the same with Scotland.

After Souttar was slammed against Greece, the centre-back was not involved in the magical win over Denmark due to injury, and he is just one player not returning to Ibrox fully fit.

As confirmed by the manager, both Souttar and Mikey Moore have returned after the international break injured, and so too have Derek Cornelius, Youssef Chermiti, Liam Kelly, and Bailey Rice.

Moore has impressed since Rohl's arrival, but it has now been revealed that the manager is hoping for the winger and his defensive partner to return before the end of December.

With the Gers unbeaten in their last six league matches, now could be a turning point for the under-pressure club, and it will need to be if they are to remain in the title race this season.

Of course, a handful of new injuries will do nothing but make things harder for the Light Blues, and this will be the list of matches that the key duo could miss if the expected timeline is accurate.
