Nikica Jelavic

Nikica Jelavic is due back at Murray Park next week to step up his recovery from ankle surgery, but Walter Smith is pessimistic about the prospects of the �£4million Croatian striker being fit to face Celtic on January 2.

 

'Nikica is back here next week, although there is the complication of his wife expecting a baby next week, as well - so it might be put back another seven days,' explained the Ibrox boss.

'When he gets back, he will get into his training but, realistically, it will be the middle of next month before he is ready. It's more than likely he will miss the Old Firm game.'

I would agree. Returning to training in mid December means he wont be fit for 2nd January.

I'd rather Rangers took their time and get him fully fit and injury free before giving him some game time.

I'd be very surprised if he was risked in the Old Firm game.

 

One 'tackle' from Stokes/Samaras and he's out for longer.

That mob would have no problem in chopping him down and injuring him.

 

Vile cretins.

Hope he is back asap.
