Oliver Antman is not in the matchday squad for Rangers against Kilmarnock due to illness.

The winger started in Danny Rohl's first match in charge in the 3-0 defeat to Brann in the Europa League.

However, he was a notable absentee from the squad list to face Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership.

Rohl has now confirmed Antman is sidelined through illness rather than injury.

He said: "He is ill. He got a fever in the last 48 hours and we have to protect him.

"I expect him tomorrow or Tuesday to be back in training."
