Kemar Roofe lasted just 15 minutes tonight before he was forced off with yet another injury during Rangers' game with St Johnstone.

The Jamaica striker started the match up top for Philippe Clement's men. 

However, after the opening period of the game, the 30-year-old was unable to continue and he was substituted. Cyriel Dessers took his place in the team and opened the scoring a short while later.

Roofe showed his visible frustration and having to come off the pitch by taking his shirt off and walking straight up the tunnel. He has suffered from numerous injury issues during his time at Ibrox.

Clement made five changes to his starting XI for tonight's match after Sunday's Viaplay Cup final success against Aberdeen.

Meanwhile, Michael Beale has congratulated Rangers on their Viaplay Cup triumph.

Speaking to the media as Sunderland's new head coach for the first time, the 43-year-old passed on his regards to Philippe Clement after the Belgian guided the Ibrox side to the first available silverware of the season in Scotland.

James Tavernier's strike was enough to see off Aberdeen at the national stadium. 

And Beale has revealed he's delighted for everyone at the club, especially the players.

"It's the first opportunity that really interested me," he said upon joining the Black Cats. "It was the first one where, when you sit in a room, you hear and understand how the club works and it excites you. 

"I would just like to give my congratulations to Philippe Clement and the Rangers team because that was a real moment watching those guys and I'm delighted for them winning the cup at the weekend.

"I had a lot of people around me within the club that I knew very well. When the team is maybe underperforming or has one or two difficult results - the week before we'd got through to a semi-final and beat Real Betis - I thought we were still good. But we had a difficult day and then obviously I've come out of the club."
