Steve1872 4 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Triple Injury Boost Written by Lindsay Herron ALLY McCOIST has been given good news on the injury front as he tries to drive Rangers on in the coming months. The manager has confirmed that Andy Little is back in the squad for Saturdayâ??s game with Queenâ??s Park after missing the last six weeks with a foot problem. He has revealed that David Templeton is likely to be back from his ankle problem ahead of schedule. And he also has good news in terms of young striker Kane Hemmings who has had a catalogue of injury problems. McCoist told RangersTV: â??Andy Little played 45 minutes in the reserve game during the week and hopefully he will be involved at the weekend. â??Andy was a big loss to us because he had started the season very well and scored a number of goals. â??I watched him in the reserve game and he looked to be in good form and had a few shots at goal so he can come back in now and hopefully he will be fresh and raring to go. â??David Templeton is making good progress too and we hope he is only another couple of weeksâ?? away. â??Itâ??s a major boost for us if we can get him back a little sooner than we hoped. â??It was a real blow for Temps to suffer the injury in his second game for us and we have had to deal with that. â??He has been working out in the gym and he will be back running in the next couple of days so it looks as though he will be back ahead of schedule which would be great. â??We have some good news on Kane. He went down to see the specialist and he has been given the all-clear on his knee and he can start training again. â??He has had a torrid time of it with knee injuries and I feel for the lad more than anything else. â??However, the positive news is that he can now step up his training. â??He broke into the team last year and scored a good goal in Belfast against Linfield and he is one we have high hopes for. â??The next two or three weeks will be important for him and we hope he comes through.â? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 3 young, quick and talented players on the way back. Id be happy with those 3 (when fully fit) in the same team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I really hope Hemmings is over the worst but it looks like he's going to be plagued by injuries his whole career. Hopefully not. There's no way to tell with these things. It looked like Burke was going to have a career full of injuries when he was with us, but when he moved down south he played for several seasons with no serious injury problems at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not uncommon with injury prone Rangers players ala Andy Webster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder what we do to them doesn't it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
