Aaron Ramsey facing Rangers fitness sweat for Celtic after Wales absence


Sidelined Aaron Ramsey could be a fitness doubt heading into Rangers’ crucial top of the table clash with Celtic after being left out by Wales.

The 31-year-old midfielder played 95 minutes for his country in the crucial World Cup play-off semi-final win over Austria.

However, he has been ditched from Rob Page’s squad completely for the friendly clash with the Czech Republic.

Gareth Bale had also been named as an injury doubt following the playoff success in Cardiff, but the Real Madrid man makes the bench.

It now remains to be seen if Ramsey will be fit enough to take part in Rangers vital Premiership showdown on Sunday.

Page told Sky Sports in the build up to the game that both Ramsey and Bale wouldn’t start the friendly fixture.

He said: “They both struggled towards the end of the game. You could see both of them were holding their groins and hamstrings.

“They both had a tough 95 minutes. We’ll have another night tonight and we’ll make that decision in the morning whether we involve them in the 23.

“They’re not going to start, so it’s whether they’re in the 23.”
