Rangers are without their talismanic striker Alfredo Morelos for a Friday night showdown with Hibernian.

Morelos – who has scored 21 goals in 27 games across all competitions – was sent off for a gesture to opposing fans while celebrating his goal against Motherwell at the weekend.

He will be a sore miss for Steven Gerrard's men who trail Celtic by two points.

Veteran striker Jermain Defoe is likely to be called upon to lead the line, though his confidence won't be sky-high following a goal drought.

He has scored just once in 10 games, though the majority of his appearances have been short spells from the bench.
