Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin faces an injury sweat on striker Kevin Nisbet for Wednesday’s Pittodrie clash with Rangers.

Scotland international striker Nisbet missed the 1-0 win against Dundee United due to an injury, understood to be a calf issue.

On loan from Championship Millwall until the end of the season, the 27-year-old has scored three goals in seven appearances for Aberdeen.

That form earned a recall to the Scotland squad for the recent Nations League matches against Croatia and Portugal.

Thelin confirmed Nisbet’s injury is a “small issue” and the striker will be assessed to see if he is fit to face the Ibrox club.

The Dons boss said: “Hopefully he is back quite soon.

“It is small issues.

“Let’s see how he will answer to the treatment this week and we will see on Wednesday.”
