Philippe Clement admits Rangers are facing a Pittodrie injury sweat. The under-pressure Ibrox gaffer takes his side north to face Jimmy Thelin’s dazzling Dons on Wednesday in a clash that could have major ramifications for his future in Govan.
The Belgian boss has huge respect for the an Aberdeen side he regards as the real deal having watched them mount a remarkable nine-game unbeaten to surge to the top of the table alongside Celtic.
But he confessed he has no idea if he’ll have key men John Souttar and Tom Lawrence back for the tough Granite City test after both men sat out yesterday’s nervy 2-1 win over St Mirren.
Souttar was stood down from the meeting with Stephen Robinson’s Buddies on doctors orders, while Lawrence was missing having limped off against Steaua Bucharest on Thursday night.
