Sky Sports: Rangers player unlikely to fly to Greece as footage emerges ahead of Olympiacos game

Tom Lawrence is unlikely to fly to Greece as Rangers take on Olympiacos in the Europa League on Thursday, according to Sky Sports.

The news broadcaster shared footage from their training session outside Glasgow on Wednesday morning, 6 November, with the 30-year-old nowhere to be seen.

Lawrence picked up an injury at Hampden Mark against Motherwell on 3 November and could only play 36 minutes of that game and unless something drastic happens, he’s expected to miss the European clash this week.

Mohamed Diomande likely to come to replace Tom Lawrence for Rangers

Whether or not Lawrence is out with a long term injury or it’s just a precautionary measure, remains to be seen.

It does not make sense to make him play through the pain barrier as it’s not really a do-or-die game.

While Philippe Clement would much rather have him fit for the clash, he’s got to consider the larger picture as well.

If he plays at 50 per cent and then picks up another injury, the chances of him being out for several weeks certainly increase.

Mohamed Diomande came off the bench over the weekend to replace the injured Lawrence and he’ll perhaps be given the nod to start.

Clement knows that his job is on the line so a bad performance in Greece could be the final straw in terms of his tenure at Ibrox.

In other Rangers news, Chris Jack has issued a claim on an end to James Tavernier’s career at Ibrox after what happened recently.
