Waghorn out for 6 weeks


Recommended Posts

A bit of RR then will do him the world of good, back fresh for the coop de grace against the Hivs and our opponents in the Scottish cup.

 

"Martyn will be sidelined for a number of weeks."

 

Don't like the vagueness when it comes to injuries as it often turns out worse re. time out.

 

We'll just have to forget about him and get on with it.

very true but they do also say "THE KNEE injury Martyn Waghorn sustained in Tuesday night’s Scottish Cup win over Kilmarnock is not as bad as was first feared." which can only be a good thing. He'll benefit from the rest anyway.

He might have been jaded lately but for me, he's one of the most irreplacable players in the first team, and the first name I want on the teamsheet. I wish we had an obvious, quality understudy... We'll have to see if that's the case.

FORMER chairman Michael Johnston tells Ibrox club they 'don't know what they're talking about' over article regarding injury to striker Martyn Waghorn as pitches row rumbles on.

KILMARNOCK tonight furiously hit back at Rangers after the Ibrox club blamed Rugby Park's plastic pitch for striker Martyn Waghorn's injury.

 

The Ibrox club released a statement earlier today announcing that Waghorn would not require surgery but stated that the "unforgiving Rugby Park surface resulted in bruising and lacerations which were immediately visible."

 

This wording left the Ayrshire club furious and Killie club secretary and former Chairman Michael Johnston has since contacted Rangers to request the phrase "unforgiving" is removed from the statement.

 

Talking in an interview on the STV website, Johnston said: "It’s disappointing the official Rangers website would carry such an ill-informed comment.

"The 3G pitch at Rugby Park is not only FIFA 2 star compliant, but also meets the higher standards set by international rugby. We have already hosted the world’s first full rugby international played on a synthetic pitch (Scotland v Tonga, November 2014).

 

"In January, we hosted Europe’s top club side in Racing 92 in their match with Glasgow Warriors and tomorrow evening we are hosting the Guinness PRO12 match between Warriors and Munster.

 

"Clearly there is far more physical contact with the 3G pitch during a rugby match and no player has sustained any injury related to the surface. The IRB require additional shock absorbency and impact protection beyond the requirements for football so the pitch at Rugby Park represents the most forgiving playing surface in Scottish professional football.

"My immediate reaction was the author of the article didn't know what they were talking about and this is the sort of ill-informed remark that people tend to make about synthetic pitches without checking the facts.

 

"We have endeavoured to contact the chief executive of Rangers and are waiting to have the critical remark removed and we’re currently awaiting a response."
