Big blow: Steven Gerrard confirms some bad news for Rangers

Our season has been far from faultless this term, but we’re still holding out hope. With a little under half of the campaign still to play, we’re still dreaming of a famous Scottish title win

Unfortunately, though, ahead of our next game against St Johnstone, Steven Gerrard has confirmed some bad news for the club.

Indeed, ahead of the game, Gerrard has noted that both Kyle Lafferty and Jermain Defoe are doubts, whilst Eros Grezda and Graham Dorrans are both also some way off returning to action. 

He did provide some good news, in that Connor Goldson will be fit and available, but that doesn’t exactly help improve our mood given the other issues on display.

SG: Defoe is a doubt, Lafferty is a doubt. Goldson is fine. Grezda is still a little bit away. Murphy has started kicking balls but he won’t be back until the last few games of the season. Dorrans has had a setback but we are not sure to the extent of it just yet.

This is obviously hugely frustrating for the Gers. Our situation is tough as it is, and the last thing we need is injury problems.

Of course, it’s frustrating that both Lafferty and Defoe may be unavailable, as we’re already short for attacking depth as it is, and this will only make our issues more significant. We’ve lacked goals, and this is going to put even further strain on that area of the pitch.

Still, hopefully, we’ll have enough to beat St. Johnstone this weekend. Our squad is full of quality, even if we are lacking much of it for the weekend tie.

Thoughts?
