Rangers have suffered a hammer blow after boss Derek McInnes confirmed that club captain Lawrence Shankland could be out of action for up to four months.
Lawrence Shankland has been ruled out for up to four months - so how big a loss will he be to Rangers? Shankland's first seven Rangers appearances brought just one goal - a penalty at home to Jagiellonia Bialystok - two wins, a European exit and a heap of criticism as the Scotland international and Derek McInnes' team struggled. As he joins long-term strike casualty Youssef Chermiti on the sidelines following his early withdrawal in Saturday's win over Motherwell, Shankland tops the Rangers scoring charts with four goals across all competitions.
The past week or so has been faultless results-wise for Derek McInnes. It's a shame for Lawrence Shankland to facing a spell out injured after beginning to find form with three goals in two games. The transfer window overall was okay, but we can't be making bold statements on the back of three wins against teams Rangers should be beating.
