RANGERS will be without Scott Arfield for their Europa League clash with FK Shkupi.
The 29-year-old was forced off during the second half of the 2-0 win at Ibrox last week.
Arfield has not travelled with the Light Blues squad to Macedonia for the return leg as Steven Gerrard’s side look to book their place in the second round tonight.

But the Gers boss insists the injury is not serious as Arfield looks to get back in action sooner rather than later.
Gerrard said: “He has a bit of a knock.
“We had a bit of concern straight after the game it might be one that would take a bit of time.
“We’ve had some good news from the scan and he won’t be very long, but he won’t be available for this game.
“Declan John has a bit of a back issue but it’s not a big problem.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
