Rangers defender Djiga doubt for Celtic clash after red card
The centre-back received a one-match suspension after being sent off against Dundee. Djiga, on loan from Wolves, was given a straight red card for fouling Finlay Robertson as he raced towards goal. This means the Burkina Faso internationalist will miss Rangers' next Scottish Premiership match. This match is scheduled against St Mirren on August 24. However, Rangers have requested a postponement if they advance in the Champions League. The SPFL allows clubs in the European play-off round to postpone one match without issue. Rangers announced: "Our fixture against St Mirren at the SMiSA Stadium has now been rescheduled for Sunday, 24 August, kicking off at 12 noon and will be shown live on Sky Sports. "However, following a request from the club, should we progress to the UEFA Champions League play-off round, we will exercise the option to postpone the match and it will be played at a later date." If Rangers qualify for the Champions League play-off round by beating Viktoria Plzen, the suspension will carry over to the next league match against Celtic on August 31. Russell Martin's side have a Premier Sports Cup match against Alloa Athletic, but the SPFL states that suspensions must be served in the competition they were given. Red cards for "A4 Denying the opposing team or an opponent a goal or goal-scoring opportunity" result in a one-match ban in the competition where the offence was reported. Judicial panel protocol guidance on suspensions states: "Effective immediately to the League Competition where the sending off offence was reported."

Why is Dundee's Robertson training with Ramos at Monterrey?
You would be forgiven for doing a double take if you came across recent footage of Dundee's Finlay Robertson training with Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos. As part of the Dens Park side's strategic partnership with Monterrey, 22-year-old Robertson has joined up with the Mexican club to train this summer. Advertisement That has seen Robertson rub shoulders with multiple Champions League winner Ramos, who joined Rayados in February, as well as former Sevilla forward Lucas Ocampos and ex-Spain midfielder Sergio Canales. Monterrey are involved in this summer's Club World Cup and open their group fixtures against Inter Milan on Wednesday. Some social media speculation suggested Robertson could be registered to play in the tournament, but he does not appear to be in the squad. So how did all of this come about? While Monterrey representatives were checking up on Mexican youngsters Victor Lopez and Cesar Garza, who joined Dundee in January, they were impressed by academy graduate Robertson. Advertisement "One of the directors of Monterrey came over to watch to see how Chespi and Cesar were doing," midfielder Robertson said. "They watched training throughout the week and signalled me out as one they would like to see more of." And how is the 22-year-old finding it? "It's a bit surreal at times being on the same training pitch with such big names," he added. "But showing you can hold your own with them, it fills me with confidence."
