RANGERS will be without four first-teamers as they take on PSV in their Champions League play-off second leg tonight.
The Ibrox club will be without Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe, Ben Davies and John Souttar.
Long-term absentees Filip Hellander and Ianis Hagi are also missing.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: "Kemar Roofe and John Souttar didn’t travel. Ben Davies didn’t travel either.
"Glen Kamara is back in the squad and is available. With the injuries, they are not short.
"They will not be back in the coming days for weeks, regarding John and Kemar."
Morelos is of course absent after being left out of the Rangers squad due to fitness and commitment issues.
“It is always the case that I bring players with me who are ready to play and for me that was the moment I didn’t include Morelos,” said Van Bronckhorst.
“As a person it was a hard decision.
“As a manager it was an easy one because we are here to represent our club and to get into the Champions League tomorrow evening.
“I made the decision myself. Of course we have a leader group and I always keep contact with them.
“We will wait and see what happens (going forward). The biggest factor in that is Alfredo himself.
“We will have to see how the coming days and weeks will go.
“He has to show me he wants to play for Rangers. I know he wants to play but to play for Rangers you have to have a certain level, mentally and physically he is not ready to play.”
