Providing the latest update on Aribo’s injury. Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard told Rangers TV: ”I think he is okay, he’s got a nasty gash on his head which was stitched up, he was on the end of a bad one there.

”Joe is a tough lad, I am sure he’ll get on with it, I am not sure whether it will affect him in the coming games, we’ll have to assess that tomorrow.

”But he, himself, wanted to play on and that’s the kid, that’s the character, he is a tough lad”.
