Rangers Boss Derek McInnes Provides Update on 'Significant' Shankland Injury
Captain Lawrence Shankland's significant hamstring injury will sideline Rangers for several weeks, likely impacting upcoming Old Firm fixtures.
- On Saturday, Rangers captain Lawrence Shankland suffered a "significant" hamstring injury during the 1-0 Scottish Premiership victory over Motherwell at Ibrox. The 31-year-old limped off after eight minutes.
- Manager Derek McInnes stated the injury feels "similar" to one Shankland sustained at Hearts last year, when he missed more than two months. A scan scheduled for Monday will clarify the severity.
- The striker will likely miss the Old Firm double-header against Celtic later this month and upcoming Scotland Nations League matches. Shankland had scored four goals in his first ten Rangers appearances before the injury.
- Replacement Ryan Naderi scored the winning goal shortly after entering the match, providing immediate relief. McInnes confirmed the team has "good options" including Kevin Kelsy, Kim Minsu, and Bojan Miovski.
- McInnes speculated that switching between artificial and grass surfaces may have increased vulnerability to injury. Rangers face compounded pressure with striker Youssef Chermiti already sidelined long-term with an ACL issue.
