The Ibrox manager admitted he could be forced to take “some risks with players” for the showpiece final against Celtic on Saturday.

However, when quizzed on the availability of players – namely Ridvan Yilmaz, Abdallah Sima and Leon Balogun – Clement remained coy on the fitness of his squad.

The Rangers manager said: “I don’t want to say too much about the squad.

“This is the final game, a decisive game so maybe we need to take some risks with players that normally we don’t do because there is a season coming after.

“This is the final game, a decisive game so maybe we need to take some risks with players that normally we don’t do because there is a season coming after.

“I don’t want to get too much into which player is ready or not, or can start or not.

“I did it all season, every three days with you guys, this one I don’t want to speak too much about that.”

Rangers recently had as many as 11 players sidelined through injury in the closing stages of the season.

Yilmaz and Sima recently returned to the fold for Rangers but questions remain over whether they could play for the whole 90 minutes.

Clement previously confirmed Danilo, Oscar Cortes and Connor Goldson would be out for the rest of the season.
