Rangers will be without Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent for Saturday's Scottish Premiership clash against St Mirren.

Ibrox boss Michael Beale offered a fitness update ahead of the match with six first-team players ruled out for the fixture.

Goldson - who missed the trip to Celtic Park - won't return until next weekend against Aberdeen at the earliest.

And Kent has been deemed unavailable to feature against St Mirren alongside Ridvan Yilmaz, Antonio Colak, Scott Wright and Ryan Jack.

In his pre-match press conference, Beale said: "A few missing for the weekend.

"Connor Goldson is still unavailable. Ridvan, Colak, Wright, Jack and Kent are also unavailable for the weekend."

Pressed on whether the injuries could be long-term, Beale added: "We'll have to assess. I think one or two are just knicks and niggles that we don't want to take a risk on right now.

"Obviously, Connor, we know is going to be away with a possibility of playing next weekend but we've got an eye on the semi-final for him.

"Ryan Kent, right at the end of the game had an awkward landing and he's got quite a lot of bruising around it so has not been able to come back to training this week. We just need to assess where that is in the early part of next week.

"Ridvan will be back. Tony has a slight problem with his calf. Jacko, yesterday just opened his knee out a little bit but we don't think there's anything major there."

On the weekend's opposition, Beale commented: "St Mirren have done a good job, so many clubs now fighting for European positions in the top half of the league.

"The team we are playing tomorrow is an exciting team and looking forward to it."
