🚨 BREAKING
What happened
Rangers lose Shankland for up to four months & Andy Campbell BBC Scotland Speaking before Wednesday's Scottish Premiership visit of St Mirren, manager Derek McInnes confirmed his 31-year-old skipper had suffered a recurrence of the injury when both were at Hearts last season. Shankland missed nine weeks.
What we know
He has scored four goals in 10 Rangers appearances so far this term but came off early in Saturday's 1-0 home league win over Motherwell. His replacement, Ryan Naderi, scored the game's only goal. "He's had a tear, it's a 2cm tear in his hamstring so similar, very similar to the one he did previously at Hearts in January," McInnes said. "He's actually in London now, he's getting an ultrasound scan, a follow-up scan which is just to determine with the specialist whether he has surgery or whether we just let that heal naturally, as it did the last time. "If he has the surgery then he might be an extra three or four weeks but if he has the surgery then it lessens the risk of maybe it happening again. All these things will be confirmed probably in the next 48 hours or so. "Unfortunately, for us and Lawrence, it's a significant amount of time out and we just need to support him, as we do with all our injured players. He was starting to find his stride here and had obviously scored some important goals for us but that is football, unfortunately, the ups and downs of it.
