RANGERS will be without Scott Arfield for their Europa League clash with FK Shkupi.

The 29-year-old was forced off during the second half of the 2-0 win at Ibrox last week.

Arfield has not travelled with the Light Blues squad to Macedonia for the return leg as Steven Gerrard’s side look to book their place in the second round tonight.

But the Gers boss insists the injury is not serious as Arfield looks to get back in action sooner rather than later.

Gerrard said: “He has a bit of a knock.

“We had a bit of concern straight after the game it might be one that would take a bit of time.

“We’ve had some good news from the scan and he won’t be very long, but he won’t be available for this game.

“Declan John has a bit of a back issue but it’s not a big problem.”
