Helander still out for at least the next month too... Very bad news, but we couldn't have chosen a better run of fixtures for him to miss. That's not to be complacent but it's just a fact that January is the easiest month we'll have all season; no European games, 3/4 games at home and all against bottom half teams. It could be a big opportunity for Patterson if he impresses against Stranraer. Edited January 16, 2020 by DMAA 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,251 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Quote Rangers boss Steven Gerrard praises medical team for quick response to James Tavernier appendix issue Rangers will be without captain James Tavernier for at least two weeks due to an appendix issue. The defender had complained of stomach pains and contacted club doctor Mark Waller, who referred him to a specialist to undergo a small procedure. Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard praised the club’s medical team for spotting the problem quickly, as it threatened to rule his skipper out for up to two months. He said: “We had a problem yesterday with Tav. I know there were some rumours circulating that he was going to be out for six weeks to a month – they aren’t true. “He was totally fine in Dubai. He flew back, had a day off but then on the morning we were due to come in he felt a bit of abdominal pain. He wasn’t sure what it was so called the doctor. “Thankfully we’ve got one of the best docs in the business and sent him to a specialist pretty early and we got to the problem straight away.” He added: “Tav will probably be out for a couple of weeks all being well. He’s had a minor procedure around his appendix that we sorted out yesterday. But it went really well. “These situations can be worse. I think they can be up to six weeks or a couple of months if there is complications or the appendix bursts. But that wasn’t the case. “We’ve managed to get to the situation really early. When you get the right person and sorts it out, then it’s looking more a couple of weeks rather than a couple of months, which is good news. “In saying that, no-one wants to lose their captain for one game, never mind a couple.” Tavernier will miss the Scottish Cup clash with Stranraer on Friday night, and is likely to sit out matches against St Mirren and Hearts in the Premiership next week. https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/rangers-boss-steven-gerrard-praises-medical-team-for-quick-response-to-james-tavernier-appendix-issue/ Too bad that it needs this to see how Polster or Flanagan can cope and play on the right side of defence. I would assume that the youngster will not be thrown in straight away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,384 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I would much prefer to see Patterson get a start. By all accounts he played well recently. Flanagan's not very good, generally -- although he's dependable in certain, defensive, situations. Polster, maybe, but I'd prefer the youngster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real slap in the face to Morelos and the general support by the directors/management. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
