Papac doubtful to appear for Rangers

Sasa Papac has been rated doubtful for Rangers’ Champions League qualifier against Red Star Belgrade.

The full-back is struggling with an ankle knock and will be replaced by Kirk Broadfoot if he fails to recover in time for the match at Ibrox.

Manager Walter Smith has no other fresh injuries, with long-term casualties Steven Smith (groin) and Thomas Buffel (knee) still out. Brahim Hemdani returns for the third round first leg clash after being omitted from the squad at the weekend.

Provisional squad: McGregor, Hutton, Weir, Cuellar, Papac, McCulloch, Ferguson, Thomson, Beasley, Boyd, Cousin, Darcheville, Novo, Carroll, Broadfoot, Lennon, Hemdani, Whittaker.
