Rangers duo out

Rangers will be without Dragan Mladenovic and Maurice Ross for the CIS Insurance Cup meeting with Aberdeen after the duo picked up injuries against Inverness on Sunday.

Midfielder Mladenovic is out for at least three weeks with a knee injury while a groin problem has ruled out right back Ross.

Striker Dado Prso is a doubt because of a hamstring niggle but fellow frontman Steven Thompson is free of suspension.

Provisional squad: Klos, Khizanishvili, Moore, Boumsong, Andrews, Vanoli, Burke, Ricksen, Hughes, Malcolm, Lovenkrands, Novo, Arveladze, Prso, Thompson, Smith, Vignal, McLean, McCormack.
