Injury Expert issues update on Rangers attacker
We are pleased to have Dr.
, an injury specialist.
We welcome Rajpal Brar as our exclusive columnist.
Each week he will give his opinion on Rangers’ injury situation.
Rangers attacker Scott Wright could be a threat, says Dr.
Coach Rajpal Brar could miss more games than previously expected, leading to a worst-case scenario.
The injury expert claims that what was suspected initially as a knock may even be a bone bruise that could keep him out for a few more weeks.
However, if he’s ready to return post the international break then it’s perhaps a medium knock and he should be in contention against Aberdeen.
Discussing his situation exclusively with Ibrox News, Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, said:
“The worst case would be a bone bruise and those can have major variance on them.
“That would rule him out for a few weeks.
“If he’s ready after the break, it’s likely just a medium knock that is impacting his function.“
The 26-year-old has been a bit part player for Rangers this season and has not played in more games than he has for the senior side.
He’s made just three league starts and two more appearances off the bench and is still to register a goal or an assist.
He’s even been sent off once and it remains to be seen if he’s still at Ibrox beyond this season as his performances have been underwhelming.
Scott Wright has admitted a “little knock” ruled him out of action for Rangers against Sparta Prague.
The winger joined the TNT Sports broadcast before kick-off and provided an update on the knock he suffered in the Viaplay Cup semi-final against Hearts.
Wright said: “I just took a little knock at the cup semi-final there. Thankfully nothing too serious but today just came a little bit too early for me.
“I’m absolutely gutted to miss it, the European nights under the lights at Ibrox are always special
Clement had previously said of the injury: “It is a small muscle problem he had in the last action of the game on Sunday. The next day it felt a little worse.
“It’s not a really serious thing but if you take the risk it can become more serious.”
Wright – who scored at Hampden at the weekend – was gutted to miss the Europa League fixture after blossoming at Ibrox having been given a fresh start under Clement.
He added: “I think you can see the momentum of the team starting to build under the new manager.
“And for me personally it was a fresh slate and a chance to stake my claim in the team.
“I hadn’t played as much under the previous manager as I would have liked but I have been given an opportunity and it is just about me trying to grab it with both hands.”
