Ibrox duo out of festive fixtures making Morelos untouchable
Kemar Roofe and Ryan Jack are unlikely to play again before the winter break.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side have three home matches and away days at Aberdeen and Celtic before a 19 break in January.
The absence of Roofe puts the striking burden firmly on Alfredo Morelos as Scottish referees approach the second anniversary of the last Ibrox star to be sent off when Morelos was given a 93rd minute red card at Celtic on 29 December 2019.
This year Roofe, Leon Balogun, John Lundstram and Glen Kamara have been sent off in Europa League matches.

Roofe has been sharing penalty duties with James Tavernier this season.
Jack made three emotional substitute appearances but has been posted missing from the matches against Lyon and Hearts due to a small knock completely unrelated to the knee surgery he underwent in March.
