STEVEN GERRARD hopes Rangers haven't suffered another major injury blow after striker Kemar Roofe was forced off during their win over Lincoln Red Imps.
The Light Blues boss was without Ryan Jack and Brandon Barker for the Europa League clash after they were crocked against Dundee United at the weekend.
Roofe was replaced late in the first half after receiving treatment for a calf problem but Gerrard is confident it won't be a long-term issue for the former Leeds and Anderlecht star.
Gerrard told RangersTV: “Yes there is an issue but we’re hoping it’s not a big one.
"He said he felt a bit of tightness so hopefully he’s done the sensible thing and told us before it’s got worse.
“We’ll have a look at it in the next day or so. Hopefully, fingers crossed, he should be okay.”
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!
