Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst will give Kemar Roofe and Aaron Ramsey "as long as possible" to pass a fitness test ahead of Rangers' Europa League semi-final second leg against RB Leipzig on Thursday night.

Roofe has been out with a knee injury, whilst Ramsey has been struggling with a hamstring problem since the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic at Hampden Park last month.

The Gers were beaten 1-0 by the Bundesliga outfit in Germany last Thursday night and, ahead of the return fixture at Ibrox, the Gers boss said: "It depends how the training will go. When they got injured we all knew that they would work towards the game tomorrow.

"Of course I will wait as long as possible, but the most important thing for me is that they are physically able to play a part in tomorrow's game, that is always the deciding factor.

"We still have one day to prepare. Today will be an important day for both. I cannot tell you if they are in the squad for tomorrow or not."
