What did Rohl say about Rangers injuries vs Hearts?
Ryan Naderi could remain sidelined for Rangers, and Tuur Rommens may join him on the absentee list, still recovering from his muscle injury.
Rohl did not confirm whether they would be back for the contest in his pre-match media duties on 1 May.
He said: “All the other players are so far so good.
“That is a good signal for us.
“It is also important that Ryan and Tuur are available as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, John Souttar is a potential absentee too, the German boss admitted that he was set for a scan and he did not know the extent of the issue yet.
He said: “John has small problems.
“He will have a scan today.
“Let’s see, but I think it should be OK.”
What injuries do Hearts have?
For the league leaders, they are not without their own problems as they prepare to try and condemn the Light Blues to irrelevance.
Finlay Pollock, Ageu, Tomas Magnusson and Oisin McEntee are set to miss out with long-term issues.
However, there was more positive news on Cammy Devlin and Harry Milne, who are progressing well ahead of the game.
| Hearts potential absentees vs Rangers | Injury | Out? |
| Cammy Devlin | Strain | Doubtful |
| Harry Milne | Calf | Doubtful |
| Finlay Pollock | Hamstring | Yes |
| Ageu | Muscle | Yes |
| Tomas Magnusson | Thigh | Yes |
| Oisin McEntee | Thigh | Yes |
McInnes admitted that one of them could be back for the game, but he would not reveal which one, keeping his cards close to his chest.
He said: “Everybody from the Hibs game is fine.
“Cammy and Harry are progressing well, so we’re hoping to get one of them. I’m not going to tell you which one.
“But both boys are bursting to be part of it and are making good progress.”
The Gers need to secure victory if they are to have a chance of pipping the Edinburgh side to the title, if they lose or draw, it may well be curtains for the title charge.
The Jambos still have their main weapons in Claudio Braga and Lawrence Shankland, so it will be a very hard task at a stadium that will be bouncing to cheer their unlikely heroes on.
Rohl’s side needs to focus sharply if they are to come away with three points, especially given the lack of key players out injured for the hosts.
