ian1964 10,409 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Exclusive RANGERS fear DaMarcus Beasley is out for the rest of the season. The 25-year-old American midfielder suffered a sickening knee injury during Tuesday's Champions League clash in Stuttgart. Rangers' mood was black enough after their 3-2 defeat but scans have shown the damage to Beasley's knee to be worse than first thought. He was crocked in a second-half collision with keeper Raphael Schafer and yesterday's checks revealed his ligaments had been badly damaged. Manager Walter Smith was given the news that it looks like he will have to do without Beasley for the remainder of the campaign. Beasley's setback comes just as his form was beginning to improve and his loss will be a serious blow to Rangers' hopes at home and abroad. But there was better news concerning Lee McCulloch, who was taken off in the first half, also holding a knee. His problem was easing yesterday and although Rangers expect him to miss Saturday's home match with Kilmarnock, he should be able to train again at the beginning of next week. McCulloch, though, is refusing to accept his injury could keep him out of action even for one match. He is determined to prove the Ibrox medics wrong by reporting fit for the Killie game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 bad news, he had been doing a good job for the team of late. Surely Gow must get his chance on saturday? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 no, get burke to work the wing and get gow in to replace super lee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 This is written for wee Nacho. He'll possibly get his chance on Saturday against Killie and if he can perform well he'll keep his place and hopefully get rewarded with a new contract. It's a blow to lose Eddie Murphy but we've got cover. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
