Team news for Rangers at Ayr United: Philippe Clement provides an update on Tom Lawrence
Philippe Clement has provided an update on the Rangers squad ahead of their Scottish Cup match against Ayr United on Saturday, February 10.
The Gers will be facing Ayr United at Ibrox and are considered heavy favorites for the game.
However, they will have to cope without several key players due to injuries. Kemar Roofe, Danilo,
Leon Balogun, and Tom Lawrence are all sidelined and unavailable for selection.
Clement stated, “Ben Davies is back and available for selection.
Tom Lawrence won’t be in the squad as a precautionary measure, similar to Jack midweek, to ensure sufficient recovery between minutes.
Ryan Jack has returned to the squad. With a history of injuries, we need to be cautious with players, and there is clear communication with the medical staff and the players.”
Despite being clear favorites, Rangers must remain vigilant against Ayr United, as they are
currently on a seven-match winning streak and performing well under Clement’s management.
While Rangers have a strong track record against Ayr United in previous encounters, they should
not underestimate their opponents.
Ayr United, under the guidance of new manager Scott Brown, cannot be overlooked despite their recent loss to Dundee United.
The absence of players like Dujon Sterling due to suspension and injuries could present challenges
for Clement’s side.
Ayr United might look to exploit any weaknesses in the Rangers defense and capitalize on set-piece opportunities, so Rangers must remain focused.
