Steven Gerrard has revealed that James Tavernier has an “outside chance” of being back from a knee injury in time to face Celtic in the Scottish Cup.
Fellow right-back Nathan Patterson was freed to face the holders at Ibrox on April 17 when his SFA appeal against a ban for breaching coronavirus rules was set for three days later.
Gerrard said: “I’d say he’s got an outside chance, James, of being involved against Celtic. He is still outside in a one-v-one capacity with the physio but he is progressing pretty well.”
Rangers are still awaiting news on Ryan Jack’s visit to see specialists over his calf problem.
“In terms of Ryan, we are waiting on some news today, we have been back and forth with a couple of specialists over the last couple of days,” Gerrard said.
“He has still been doing his thing with the physios and the medical team here but we are hoping for some positive news.”
