Rangers midfielder Graham Dorrans will miss the Ladbrokes Premiership visit of Hamilton on Saturday.

Dorrans has been told he does not need surgery on an ankle problem after having a scan, though the timescale of his return remains unknown.

Meanwhile, Graeme Murty continues to take the reins as the club search for a new boss, with the Rangers caretaker manager leading the club to two consecutive victories.

"It's only two games, we need to carry on the performances into the next game. The players have pushed the standard at training," Murty told reporters.

"Rangers as a football club is built on winning, we have to get that reputation back. The players have to concentrate purely on tomorrow and ensure they give their best."
