Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed that there are two players currently on the sidelines ahead of their game against Porto this evening.

Jordan Jones is close to making his comeback from a knee injury but the Northern Irish international will not take any part in the Europa League clash in Portugal.

The winger has been out of action since the Old Firm derby when he injured himself picking up a red card for a foul on Moritz Bauer in the 2-0 defeat to Celtic last month. It remains to be seen if he will be available for selection when the Scottish club face Motherwell on Sunday.

The Light Blues are also without midfielder Andy King. The loanee has a minor muscular problem which means he won’t feature against Porto. The Welsh international has made just five appearances since his summer arrival from Leicester City and hasn’t made a single start.
