Nico Raskin and John Souttar are the latest additions to the walking wounded at Ibrox.

Philippe Clement seems increasingly puzzled with the ease in which players are picking up knocks to rule them out of contention.

Raskin managed to suffer what looked like a serious ankle injury while taking a shot at goal against Hearts on Sunday while Souttar never got off the bench against his old club.

Neither player will be involved against Dundee tomorrow night with Kemar Roofe and Borna Barisic also picking up non-contact injuries since Clement took over from Micky Beale.

Raskin is not in the squad for tomorrow, he was doing good things so it is a pity. I hope it is short-term, we will see the next couple of days. [Tom] Lawrence is back training but not yet fit enough to be in the squad.

Danilo is ready to play but not for 90 minutes. It is quite a puzzle with the various injuries. John Souttar will also be unavailable with a small muscle issue. In the next couple of weeks and months we want to have a bigger squad available and are working on this internally.

We give the players the tools to be the best they can be physically, mentally and tactically. It is then about players taking responsibility.

It seems like Sam Lammers and Cyriel Dessers are among the small group of players immune from picking up injuries.
