Sky Sports reporter amazed at 'remarkable' Derek McInnes update pre-Celtic vs Rangers
Derek McInnes revealed some more concerning team news ahead of Rangers' clash with Celtic this weekend.
The Gers are on a high following last week's 3-0 win over the same opponents at Ibrox.
That was in the Premier Sports Cup, while Sunday's clash is with Scottish Premiership points on the line.
McInnes' men have recovered from a rocky start that saw star striker Youssef Chermiti ruled out for the season just two games in.
Lawrence Shankland did not last much longer before being ruled out for up to four months.
And Rangers are now set to be without another key attacker when they make the short trip to Celtic Park.
Rangers suffer 'incredible' bad luck as another set to be ruled out
Rangers may have brought in 14 new players over the summer, but McInnes' forward options are dwindling.
That is after the Scotsman revealed at his pre-match press conference on Friday that Ryan Naderi is a major doubt.
Naderi was superb against Celtic last week - there was arguably nobody more important - but he sustained an ankle injury that he does not look likely to recover from in time.
Speaking live on Sky Sports News on Friday afternoon from outside Celtic Park, reporter Adam Binnie reacted to the latest injury setback.
"This is quite remarkable," Binnie said. "The injuries stacking up for Rangers in the striker department is incredible.
"First they lost Chermiti, their talisman from last season, to an ACL - he's out for a significant period. Then they lost their captain Lawrence Shankland for between three and four months.
"Now there's another blow in that area as Ryan Naderi is a major injury doubt for the game with Celtic."
Being without Naderi, assuming that is the case, is a massive blow for McInnes. But he does still have alternative options.
How will Rangers set up without Ryan Naderi?
Naderi would have started against Celtic this weekend had he been fit.
Now, McInnes will have to go back to the drawing board - and it may well be that Minsu Kim is used just off Kevin Kelsy up top.
If that happens, Badredine Bouanani could then come in on the right in an otherwise unchanged XI, having been a second-half sub last time out.
Even without this "remarkable" growing injury list in the same area of the field, Rangers fans will still be confident of a positive result on enemy territory this weekend.
