If the estimated length of recovery is correct, it means he’ll likely miss both games against Celtic at the end of April.

The defender was forced from the action at half-time during Rangers’ 1-1 draw with Motherwell and it later transpired he required surgery to resolve the issue.

Rangers will face their rivals in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup on Sunday, 23 April, before meeting them at Ibrox on league duty the following Saturday.
