Roofe received a booking from referee David Munro for a late lunge on Davidson during Rangers’ 1-0 win over St Johnstone last midweek, but has been handed a retrospective two-match ban.
St Johnstone will meet Livingston in the Betfred League Cup final at Hampden on February 28 and Davidson has revealed that his veteran midfielder does have a chance of making the match.
And he confirmed that Roofe did not injure Davidson in last week’s encounter - stating that Davidson's calf is the issue.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “he’ll be 50/50 for the cup final, so that’s what we’re looking at. It’s just a bad calf injury he’s got, not from the resulting tackle may I add. {It is} his other leg but I think he was carrying it a little bit."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
