Michael Beale has provided a fitness update on his Rangers squad ahead of the weekend's action.

The Light Blues will take on St Johnstone for the second time in a week tomorrow at Ibrox.

They defeated Callum Davidson's men 1-0 in the Scottish Cup at McDiarmid Park last Saturday.

And for this game, it appears that Rangers have been boosted with the return of Ianis Hagi, as well as the inclusion of new boy Todd Cantwell.

John Souttar is training, but requires some more time to get up to speed. 

There was a positive update on Kemar Roofe, while Antonio Colak is ready to play after a calf knock.

He told the media: "Ianis Hagi will be in the squad for tomorrow. It's been a year since he has played a game, I am delighted to have him back - he isn't ready yet for 90 minutes.

"Souttar just needs a little bit more time and we won't rush him back.

"Ianis is massive for us, to have him and Todd (Cantwell) is great - we feel in a really strong place with those two available, they have been great in training. It gives us a lot of variety and competition for places.

"Colak will be back in the squad for tomorrow. Ridvan will return in the coming weeks.

"Kemar Roofe is not far from returning to training, he has some mobility in that shoulder already which is great. I want the competition as we need a squad that can play 60+ matches, it is unrealistic to expect players can play all of these matches."

Meanwhile, Calvin Bassey has been brutally branded a "joke" by an unimpressed former Ajax star.

The ex-Rangers defender has struggled at various points during his budding career in the Dutch capital.

He's been heavily criticised by fans and pundits for his performances since his arrival in the summer. More accurately, they have been unhappy with his ability on the ball.

Now, Kenneth Perez didn't hold back as he ridiculed the Nigeria international after his display in the 1-1 draw with Volendam.

This ultimately spelled the end for manager Alfred Schreuder, who was dismissed in the aftermath of the game.
