Gabby Agbonlahor has been reacting to some Glasgow Rangers injury news that he has now heard ahead of the Europa League final on Wednesday.
The Lowdown: Rangers team news
Speaking to the media before the Gers’ 3-1 win in the Premiership on Saturday, Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted that he is hopeful that Kemar Roofe will be ready to play in the European showpiece after missing out on the Light Blues’ last few games through injury.
Ianis Hagi was included in the club’s photoshoot for the match against Eintracht Frankfurt, and the Romanian has hinted on Twitter that he could also be available.
The Latest: Agbonlahor reacts
Speaking to Football Insider, former Aston Villa and England striker Agbonlahor – who regularly contributes for Sky Sports – has claimed that it would be a ‘big boost’ to have both players back for the final and would be ‘exciting’ for everyone at Rangers.
The 35-year-old said: “100 per cent, that would be a big boost. I’m sure Van Bronckhorst will want as big of a squad as possible.
“There are a lot of good players in that squad. I can’t pick between Rangers and Celtic in terms of quality of players.
“Van Bronckhorst will be happy to have the players back and then he will make a decision on who deserves to start and what formation is best depending on how Frankfurt play.
“It’s exciting for everyone involved with Rangers.”

The duo have contributed three goals and one assist between them in the Europa League already, while they have also ranked highly among their team-mates in terms of average shots per game (WhoScored).
With Alfredo Morelos injured, the Light Blues will need to find a cutting edge from somewhere against Eintracht Frankfurt, and these two could help to provide it.
