Harry Forrester is out of Rangers’ Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic this weekend with a leg injury.
The 25-year-old sustained the injury in the 4-0 Petrofac Training Cup Final win over Peterhead at Hampden Park and was substituted with 23 minutes of the game remaining.
Rangers have since confirmed the winger has suffered a hairline fracture and is expected to be sidelined till next month.
Forrester signed a new three-year deal with Rangers on Tuesday and told reporters after penning the deal that he was relishing his first Old Firm clash against bitter rivals Celtic.
But a statement on the club's official website confirmed he would miss the clash with the Hoops, which is live and exclusive on Sky Sports on Sunday.
