Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent IN for Celtic showdown but Ryan Jack suffers Rangers injury hammerblow

Rangers duo Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent will be fit for the crucial Scottish Cup semi-final showdown with Celtic insists Michael Beale.

Centre-back Goldson has missed the last two games - including the Celtic Park defeat to Ange Postecoglou's side - and attacker Kent also missed the showdown with St Mirren last weekend during the 5-2 rout of the Buddies. Both players have been mainstays of the Ibrox side, but look set to miss the Scottish Premiership showdown on Sunday. However, Beale offered more positive news on their hopes of facing the Hoops at Hampden.

There was more positive news on Alex Lowry, with the youngster returning to training ahead of the showdown at Pittodrie, and Scott Wright has returned to the squad. However, Antonio Colak is set to miss out on the game against Barry Robson's side - which could leave Alfredo Morelos as the only striker available to face Celtic at the national stadium.

There was more bad news on the injury front as Ryan Jack was revealed to miss the face off with the Hoops. Beale stated he will be out for up to four weeks.

The Rangers boss said: "Wright is back in the squad. Lowry returns to training tomorrow. Goldson and Kent will make it next weekend, Colak will be touch and go."
