RANGERS return to Premiership action this weekend after a two week absence due to the international break.
But Philippe Clement‘s will be without one star player for the Ibrox clash after Neraysho Kasanwirjo became the latest player to be struck down with injury while on duty for his nation.

The full-back was forced off against England while playing for the Netherlands U21s and now faces a lengthy wait on the sidelines.
Clement fears the loanee will be out for a considerable amount of time but the club will learn the full extent of the injury after they hear back from a specialist this weekend.
They know he suffered a knee ligament damage which will require surgery.
But with Kasanwirjo out, Clement may look to James Tavernier to start against Dundee United.
The skipper has been in and out of the Gers team with Clement swapping between him, Kasanwirjo and Dujon Sterling.
Tavernier’s future at Ibrox looks rather bleak at the moment so it would be very telling if the Belgian opts for Sterling instead of him this weekend – especially with Kasanwirjo sidelined.
That’s perhaps Clement’s biggest decision to make at Ibrox.
And he will need to get the big calls right as his team face a tough test against Jim Goodwin‘s high-flying Tannadice outfit.
