Rangers face further injury woes as attacker is forced off in Europa League clash

Attacker taken off in dying minutes of the first half

Kemar Roofe Rangers receives treatment in the closing stages of the first half.

Rangers are sweating over the fitness of Kemar Roofe after the striker was forced off through injury in their Europa League qualifier against Lincoln Red Imps.

The summer signing from Anderlecht was troubled by a calf problem and had to be substituted for Nathan Patterson in the 42nd minute.

This adds to Steven Gerrard’s injury woes with Joe Aribo and Ryan Jack already out for a few weeks. The Scottish Premiership leaders travel to Hibs on Sunday.
