Kemar Roofe misses out through suspension for Rangers

Rangers will be without Kemar Roofe for Saturday’s game with Kilmarnock as the striker begins a two-game ban.

The former Leeds and Anderlecht player has been punished retrospectively for his challenge on St Johnstone’s Murray Davidson and will now miss the visit of Tommy Wright’s team to Ibrox along with Alfredo Morelos, who serves the final leg of his three-match suspension for stamping on Hibernian’s Ryan Porteous.

However, Jermain Defoe returns from a calf complaint while Scott Arfield (ankle) is back in training after seven weeks out. Long-term knee-injury victim Nikola Katic is still missing.

New signing Kyle Lafferty could go straight into the Kilmarnock side after signing a short-term deal on Friday.

Danny Rogers returns from a back injury and Calum Waters, Stuart Findlay and Kirk Broadfoot are working their way back from respective groin, ankle and foot problems.

Alan Power is suspended for two games after an accumulation of yellow cards.
