"Alfredo Morelos had a bit of a problem with his flight being 24 hours late," Rangers boss Steven Gerrard tells BT Sport.
"But Jermain [Defoe] was always going to be play. He's been unlucky not to get more game time because he's been training really well."

Hamilton Accies boss Brian Rice tells BBC Sportsound: "We've been down to the bare bones but I felt we needed a wee bit of experience in there today.
"It's a little bit of a gamble with a couple of them because they haven't played for a month.
"But, we're playing against Rangers today, and we know how good they can be on their day.

"So, hopefully they can get through it okay. I just want us to be positive - it's very difficult trying to set up a team against the Old Firm because their attacking play is phenomenal.
"I've said to the lads: 'let's go out and be organised, and let's try to have a go so that we can go home tonight, whatever the result, and say that we gave it everything and tried our best'."
