On Monday the Daily Record was delivering the good news that Ridvan Yilmaz will be fit to face Celtic on April 7.
Facing the media today Philippe Clement is less sure about the fitness of the former Besiktas defender.
Yilmaz lasted just 27 minutes of Turkey’s 1-0 defeat to Hungary last Friday with concerns over a thigh injury.
His absence opens the door for Borna Barisic to return to action, a prospect that not many Ibrox fans are pleased about.

At today’s media conference Football Scotland, the digital face of the Record reported Clement saying:
Sterling, Dowell, Sima and McCausland are back in training. Ridvan, Jack, Cortes & Danilo are out. Ridvan is not long-term, but we will see next week.
It is believed that Jack will resume full training in 7/10 days, the Scotland star last appeared as a substitute away to Benfica on March 7, his first action since playing against Ayr United on February 10.
