Rangers rocked with injuries

Last updated : 08 November 2003 By Mark O' Haire
Rangers have had to call up two 16 year old rookies for their FA Cup clash against Grimsby Town on Saturday.
Ryan Johnson and Andrew Fletcher have both been called upon, given squad numbers and are travelling with the squad. Jake Cole is also travelling as Nick Culkin is not fully fit and Cole is the only available back-up goalkeeper.
Already out are Marc Bircham, Dan Shittu, Matthew Rose, Warren Barton and Paul Furlong, they could be joined by Gino Padula, Marcus Bean, Richard Edghill and Kevin Gallen.
The victory against Dagenham in midweek has come at a cost as Rangers prepare for another cup clash away at Blundell Park.
Rangers won for the first time there earlier this season but will expect yet another tough battle from Paul Groves' army.
