Sky Live: Dundee v Rangers: Lee Wallace in race to be fit for Dens Park trip

Interim boss Graeme Murty hopes to have captain Lee Wallace fit for Rangers’ Premiership trip to Dundee on Sunday.

Murty was forced to remove the left-back late on during last weekend's Scottish Cup win over Greenock Morton as a precaution after he complained of a muscular problem but he hopes the 29-year-old will be available for the visit to Dens Park, live on Sky Sports 1.

Josh Windass has stepped up his recovery from an ankle knock but Jordan Rossiter (back) and Niko Kranjcar (knee) remain out.

Murty is set to take charge of Rangers in a caretaker capacity for the second time following the departure of Mark Warburton.

"The week has been frantic, but it has been really enjoyable," he said. "The guys have worked really hard, they've been really open and I think we have had a good week of bedding in some principles of mine.

"Talking to the players today, I think they are engaged and I think they are just desperate to get the game going ahead.

"It would be daft not to enjoy it. I won't enjoy the games because I get incredibly frustrated kicking every single ball, but I will enjoy the experience and I will try to get the maximum growth personally out of it and I will really, really enjoy seeing the team going and performing."

Dundee manager Paul Hartley hopes to have close to a full squad available for Sunday's encounter with Rangers.

Hartley will assess the fitness of several players who have been carrying knocks, including Julen Etxabeguren and Kostadin Gadzhalov.

Defender James McPake is still building up his match fitness after injury.

Striker Henrik Ojamaa insists he and his Dundee team-mates will focus on themselves ahead of the clash with the Ibrox side but says it is difficult to second guess how Rangers will go about the fixture after the departure of Warburton.

"It's very hard to predict how they will respond," the 25-year-old said. "It can go one of two ways, maybe some players who have been on the fringes will get a chance and be motivated, or maybe other players will be upset.

"Whether it will play a part, I have no idea, we just have to focus on ourselves and make sure that we do our job to the best of our abilities."
