Philippe Clement has confirmed Borna Barisic will leave Rangers in the summer.

The Ibrox boss admitted the Croatian defender will depart upon the expiry of his contract.

Barisic has been heavily linked with a move to join Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor.

And Clement has confirmed he will join a new side in the off-season as he heads for the Ibrox exit.

The Belgian manager announced the news in his pre-match interview ahead of the Scottish Cup final against Celtic as he revealed the looming departure impacted his team selection.

Barisisc is not included in the squad for the cup final with Ridvan Yilmaz starting despite not having full preparations for the fixture.

On Premier Sports, Clement said: "It was tough to make the selection and also to make decisions for this game.

"For example, Ridvan had his first training with the group yesterday and he is in the starting XI because Borna is leaving the club and Robbie Fraser is still young to start an Old Firm like that.

"It was not the ideal preparations this week but I expect from the team to do everything they have in this game."

Barisic joined Rangers from Osijek in 2018 and went on to make 236 appearances for the club during his six years in Glasgow.

RANGERS XI: Butland, Tavernier, Balogun, Davies, Yilmaz, Diomande, Raskin, Cantwell, Sterling, Silva, Dessers
