I seen a report not long ago that Rangers fear that shankland might not play again for us this year 😲☹️🇬🇧

Shankland out for 3 months.

It will be what it will be, let's wait on the manager update tomorrow, scan was this afternoon.

Even if it's 3 months, you're talking after January, by the time he gets fit and match sharp, about February.

Rfc, we can add anything to the time frame. What the manager said, from injury to first game back, was three months. Once Rangers know what grade of injury he sustained, it will help them develop a recovery plan.
Let's not forget many on here were saying how slow and ineffective he was.

Have a feeling he might need managed when he does come back. Similar to Sterling.

John, I agree but let's face it he's not coming back from a 3 month injury as currently reported and jumping starting back in would be February at the earliest before we see him and he was ineffective but hit a bit of form.

We have 3 fit strikers and, right now, playing only 1 up front should be fine to January. We also don't need to worry about Europe, so players have more recovery time, which should see other types of injuries happen less.

Hamstring injuries are usually between 2 weeks and a maximum of 12. It's the start of September. Even in the worst case, he should be back on the training pitch at the start of December.
Have to applaud the board for paying £9m to bring KK in, or we would be struggling.
Can you imagine, if their 2 strikers across the road had the same bad luck, they would be right up against it.
Whereas we are slowly progressing game by game, and a victory on Sunday could be a massive shot in the arm before our trip to the dark side a week later.

Absolutely 56, we've been unlucky with probably our top 2 strikers getting injured, but should give Naderi and Kelsey the run in the team, which will give them the best chance to do well.
