Rangers Injury Boost For £9.5m Striker’s Return: Should They Rush Him?

Rangers captain Lawrence Shankland has delivered an encouraging recovery update after undergoing hamstring surgery, saying his rehabilitation is moving in a positive direction. The 31-year-old striker is now off crutches, four weeks after surgery, and has received fresh feedback from the specialist who treated the injury.

Shankland said the hamstring is healing well, giving Rangers fans some welcome news after a difficult month for the club captain. “I’m getting there slowly,” Shankland said .

“I’m off my crutches this week, with it being four weeks post-surgery. Things are looking good.” His comments carry extra significance because this injury followed a similar problem that ruled him out for nine weeks during his time at Hearts last season.
