Leon Balogun will miss out on Saturday's clash with Motherwell due to head injury protocols.The Nigerian international was involved in a bruising clash with St Mirren powerhouse Jon Obika in the second half of the 3-2 Betfred Cup Defeat.Balogun was clattered hard and had to be treated for several minutes on the pitch before the dazed-looking former Wigan man was substituted.And now he will miss the game against Stephen Robinson's side, limiting Steven Gerrard 's defensive options.He said:

St Mirren produced a brilliant display to secure a 3-2 win and dump Steven Gerrard 's side out of the Betfred Cup. That defeat is the latest domestic cup stinker as the Rangers manager's reign continues to be undermined by his side's inability to secure silverware.And that has left the natives restless with none spared during a savage Paisley post-mortem.Lewis Fotheringham, Mount Ellen , said: "The players absolutely bottled it against St Mirren.

Rangers ’ unbeaten start to the season to send them crashing out of the Betfred Cup.  The Buddies secured a famous victory over the Light Blues after Conor McCarthy’s dramatic stoppage time winner set up a Hampden semi-final clash against Livingston early next year.  But Gers boss Gerrard was left gutted following the 3-2 loss and took responsibility for a first defeat of the season in their 28th game in all competitions.  Connor Goldson had fired the visitors into the lead on a rain-lashed

Alfredo Morelos to stop "drawing attention" to himself after the Colombian was banned for two games. A flashpoint with Dundee United defender Mark Connolly saw him booked in Sunday's Premiership clash at Tannadice but Morelos was quickly slapped with a two-game suspension for his flying forearm.

Steven Gerrard believes the form of both his side and St Mirren will make their League Cup quarter-final clash one to savour. While the Ibrox side are currently unbeaten in 27 matches, the Buddies are also on a streak of their own as they head into the tie looking to make it 10 games without tasting defeat.

Alfredo Morelos to emerge from his slump and start hitting the back of the net again. The Colombian international only has seven goals in 22 appearances and cut a dejected figure after he was subbed against Dundee United.Morelos was also caught up in a disciplinary flashpoint but his boss insisted he didn't lead with his elbow during the clash with Mark Connolly.

Steven Gerrard believes discipline has improved hugely this season as befitting a "classy club". The Ibrox club have made an unbeaten start to the season and have yet to receive a single red card.

Steven Gerrard 's side sitting pretty at the top of the Premiership, having conceded just four league goals. And they can stretch their lead to 14 points, at least for a few hours, with their title rivals not playing until this afternoon.Rangers will be without key man Ryan Jack but have otherwise a full squad to choose from as they look to turn the screw on Celtic and Neil Lennon.

Steven Gerrard says he's "always looking" for new signings but won't buy in January just for the sake of it. The Ibrox club hold an 11 point lead at the top of the Premiership, albeit having played two more matches than Celtic, and are unbeaten in all competitions.

Steven Gerrard admitted he demanded his Rangers players "improve on the counter-press" following a first-half where they looked unusually disjointed. The Ibrox side went in level at 2-2 with Standard Liege having been unable to really impose their game on the Belgians.
