What on earth has happened to Jordan Rossiter this time?

Despite things going well down Ibrox way of late, one quizzical puzzle has definitely surfaced in recent matches, and it’s eye-opening.

Jordan Rossiter has completely disappeared after briefly appearing to reaffirm himself back in the match day squad and even first team.

Last seen on the bench against Motherwell (he got no game time), Rossiter has been AWOL the last two SPL encounters and tellingly wasn’t involved with the reserves on Monday.

We wonder what has happened this time to make Rossiter unavailable, albeit he remains in training and was present yesterday at Auchenhowie for the pre-Aberdeen session.

We wonder if his place on the bench is being rotated with Ross McCrorie, who has made a reappearance in the squad of late, and there would be little point having two defensive midfielders on the bench.

It is a hell of a problem for Steven Gerrard to have – there are literally five DMs available for selection (Coulibaly, McCrorie, Rossiter, Jack and Halliday) plus Greg Docherty’s possible return next month – it’s certainly not a position which requires further bodies anyway.

But we really do hope Rossiter is fit and available – and he did seem pretty able and in good spirits yesterday.

Watch this space.
