Philippe Clement has admitted Rangers were unable to train on Friday due to the red weather warning from Storm Eowyn.

The Ibrox boss is still waiting on medical assessments on injured players with journeys to the hospital also scrapped with the weather making the trips "too dangerous".

Clement explained that there had been plans for players to be in training or having checks on Friday but it was called off with "a few cars smashed on the road".

Clement is at the Rangers Training Centre today with his squad back in ahead of their trip to Dundee United on Sunday.

However, there is no update on the condition of key players Connor Barron, Leon Balogun and Vaclav Cerny who all had to go off against Manchester United.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Clement said: "We cannot say anything about that. Yesterday we had plans to come back to train here in the building, but with the storm, it was too dangerous.

"There were a few cars smashed on the road here in the morning so it was too dangerous to come to the building.

"It was also not possible to bring players to the hospital for scans and to check things. So we need to make an assessment today.

"It's disruptive for sure but we need to adapt. It is what it is and you cannot change anything about it.

"You can only control the things you can control yourself. This was out of control for everybody.

"We need to adapt and I need to make decisions later on today and tomorrow."
