Rangers injury update and return schedules beat Kilmarnock while five are still out.

The very latest Rangers injury news and potential return dates as Philippe Clement’s side prepare to face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park tonight.

It will be difficult as Rangers resume their Scottish Premiership title challenge this evening. The hosts, Kilmarnock, are in Ayrshire, and the last few years haven’t been kind to the Gers’ hunting grounds.Out of the last 12 encounters at Rugby Park, the club has only defeated Killie four times since returning to the top division in 2016 [Fitbastats].

Derek McInnes is an excellent manager who is adept at positioning his team. Rangers could lose this game handily, but Philippe Clement and his players will be optimistic about the outcome.

Here is the most recent Rangers injury update, with Clement happy to report that there were no new absences following Saturday’s crushing triumph over Hearts.

Rangers injury news vs Kilmarnock

The Rangers’ locker room isn’t as packed right now as it was earlier in the season. There are five players who are undoubtedly out of the Kilmarnock match, but the majority of these are long-term injuries.

Since Ryan Jack is not injured, he is not listed on the following list. He might not make the matchday squad, though, as Clement continues to manage his recuperation.

Rabbi Matondo’s most recent injury

Currently out of commission owing to a minor muscle ailment is Rabbi Matondo. The winger hasn’t been seen since the issue was discovered during the victory against Ross County at Ibrox on February 14.

Since then, Clement hasn’t provided an update on Matondo, so it’s quite likely that the Welshman will miss the Kilmarnock match.

Missed games following injury: 2

Anticipated date of return: Unknown

Latest injury to Abdallah Sima

Rangers winger Abdullah Sima was playing at the 2023 AFCON with Senegal in top form when he sustained a catastrophic thigh injury.

When Gers defeated Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup on January 20, that heartbreaking news was verified, and not much has been said about his development since.

Sima had thigh surgery, and Clement did mention at the end of January that he will miss “two to three months” of play.

Anticipated date of return: Late March to late April

Danilo injury latest

Danilo, a forward from Brazil, has been out with a long-term injury. He last appeared for Rangers on December 6 in their away victory over Hearts.

He suffered a significant knee injury in Edinburgh that kept him out of the game for the better part of the season—four months, to be exact.

Missed games since injury: sixteen

Date of anticipated return: early April

Kieran Dowell’s latest injury

Although Kieran Dowell has demonstrated that he can be a productive player for Rangers, the midfielder has had difficulty staying healthy this year.

The former Norwich City player hasn’t been seen since his last Gers game against Kilmarnock on January 2. This is due to an injury he sustained while working out at La Manga with the Rangers during the mid-season winter break.

After a successful surgery, he was sidelined for two months and is currently recuperating.

Missed games following injury: 9

Date of anticipated return: late March

recent injury to Alex Lowry

After spending time on loan at Hearts, Alex Lowry returned to Rangers in the January transfer window. Regretfully, he returned to the Rangers Training Centre with what appeared to be a back injury.

After being sidelined for “six to eight weeks” at the end of January, the 20-year-old playmaker might not have to wait long to be selected again.

Missed games following injury: 9

Date of expected return: mid- to late-March
