The Ibrox medical team are set to assess the 30-year-old after he limped out of the Hibs win.
Rangers full back crocked Today, Borna Barisic will find out if he can play against Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday in the Czech Republic.
Twelve minutes into the Light Blues’ 4-0 victory over Hibs at Ibrox Stadium, the Croatian defender was substituted out because he was clutching his left thigh. In Philippe Clement’s debut game in command of Rangers, Barisic was replaced by Ridvan Yilmaz; however, the Turkish player was left off of Michael Beale’s European roster, indicating a difficulty for the Belgian manager.
Following the victory over Hibs, Clement stated, “The negative thing for me is that I see players who are struggling to play 90 minutes and players who are giving up after 10 minutes.” Thus, a number of players are still injured or recovering from injuries. To generate these kinds of games and better every three days, it will therefore be a major effort to get everyone at their best—that is, their best physical level—along with the performance staff.”
Record Sport understands the Rangers medics will assess Barisic today when the squad report to the Training Centre at Auchenhowie but if the 30-year-old isn’t fit to travel then Clement will have to look at alternative left back options. Although predominantly right backs, Dujon Sterling or younger Adam Devine can fill in on the opposite flank. Former Chelsea kid Sterling has made seven appearances since his summer arrival from Stamford Bridge but has started just once – against Morton in the Viaplay Cup – while Devine’s only appearance came off the bench in that same game against Ton.
