Gerrard: Aribo out of Europa clash against Galatasaray

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has revealed that Joe Aribo will be out of Thursday’s Europa clash against Galatasaray.

The Blues welcome their Turkish opponents to Ibrox with some of its key players ruled out of the match which Gerrard provided an update on at a media parley on Wednesday morning.

“Joe Aribo and Kemar Roofe won’t make it but are progressing well,” he said.

Cedric Itten is a major doubt as the Light Blues welcome Galatasaray to Ibrox in the Europa League on Thursday.

The striker netted two at the weekend against Motherwell and looked in contention for a start in Europe this week.

But his manager has revealed that the knee issue could rule him out.

“Ryan Jack and Brandon Barker are both back in full training. Itten is a major doubt as he is a small issue with his knee.

“I’m proud of the whole squad and how we have reacted to injuries. People have stepped up and delivered.
