Rangers’ squad depth is being tested as they face a double injury setback. Ross McCausland, who had just recovered from an earlier knock to make the bench against Benfica, was forced to leave the field after coming on for Dujon Sterling during their Scottish Cup match. Sterling, who earned his side a lead with a penalty-winning foul, succumbed to a hamstring issue that had troubled him previously.
The 20-year-old McCausland stepped in but soon found himself in trouble, experiencing what appeared to be a similar problem. Despite receiving medical attention, it became clear he could not continue playing. This unfortunate turn of events led to Rabbi Matondo stepping onto the pitch, marking his return from injury.
This series of injuries raises concerns about Rangers’ ability to maintain their performance levels amidst such challenges. With key players sidelined, others must step up and fill the void left by those unable to contribute due to health setbacks. The team’s resilience will undoubtedly be put to the test as they navigate through these difficulties.
As Rangers look ahead, managing player fitness and ensuring quick recoveries will be crucial for sustained success. It remains to be seen how this recent blow will impact their campaign moving forward.
