Philippe Clement has revealed that Vaclav Cerny is missing from the Rangers squad against Aberdeen due to a “small injury”.
The Czechia international was absent from the starting XI and bench for the Gers trip to Pittodrie on 30 October with Ross McCausland replacing him on the wing.
Ahead of kick-off against the Dons, Clement has revealed to Joshua Barrie that the 27-year-old was unfit despite working with medical staff at Ibrox.
The Light Blues’ boss said: “Nothing serious but the medical staff said he could not play. They tried everything to get him fit but it was a short time from the last game to this one.”
Vaclav Cerny misses Rangers clash v Aberdeen
The clash away to the second-place side in the Scottish Premiership is as important as any game for the Gers so far this campaign.
A defeat would see the Dons extend their lead to nine points ahead of Rangers while an away win would cut a six-point gap to three.
With that being said, Clement would have been keen to have his best players available from the start or at least from the bench to provide a later impact.
This has seen Tom Lawrence make a welcome return after missing out against St Mirren in a boost to the Belgian’s squad.
Despite that positivity, supporters have been left frustrated by Cerny’s absence after hitting a rich vein of form in recent weeks.
This has seen the Czech star score three goals in his last two games in all competitions for the Light Blues, being integral to some positive results.
It is a blow but Clement will be hopeful that his side still have enough to secure three points at Pittodrie.
