Overview
- Lawrence Shankland limped off after about seven minutes of Saturday’s 1-0 win over Motherwell and Ibrox medical staff are awaiting scan results on his hamstring.
- Daily Record and Belfast Live report the club is braced for a 12–14 week absence that would likely push his return to late December or into the New Year.
- Yahoo Sports publishes a shorter estimate of around two months, leaving the exact recovery timeline publicly conflicted until scans are confirmed.
- Rangers plan to fast-track new signing Kevin Kelsy into the starting XI for midweek fixtures and the upcoming Premier Sports Cup quarter-final and league derby.
- The injury is a recurrence of a similar hamstring problem less than a year ago at Hearts that took about nine weeks to heal and its loss removes the team’s captain and primary striker during a packed fixture run.
