Leon Balogun out of Borussia Dortmund clash

The defender hasn't recovered in time to be available

Published 16th Feb 2022

Rangers will be without Leon Balogun for their trip to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund.

The defender was forced off during the Light Blues' win against Hibernian last week and has been ruled out of the first leg Europa League tie.

Connor Goldson is likely to be partnered by Calvin Bassey as Filip Helander has not been included in their European squad for this round.

Ryan Jack is fit and will travel with the squad after missing the Ibrox side's last two matches.

The Scotland international picked up an injury against Hearts but has since been back in training.

Giving a fitness update, Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: "Leon is not available for tomorrow but hopefully will be available for next week.

"Ryan trained as normal in the last couple of days so is fit enough to come with us to Germany".
