‘Huge’ injury news as Tom Lawrence sparks Rangers fears v Real Betis

According to the Scottish Sun, Rangers injury concerns have already begun after Tom Lawrence was forced off against Real Betis on Thursday, September 21.

Despite being regarded as a precautionary step to replacing him at Ibrox, the newspaper claimed on its Twitter page that it was a “huge” loss.

Lawrence had been gone for months before his return to action in recent weeks, though there will very certainly be checks at Auchenhowie beginning on Friday, September 22.

They wrote: “Huge loss.

“Tom Lawrence sparks injury fears as midfielder is forced off with an injury.”

Another injury is the absolute last thing this Rangers team and Michael Beale need right now.

Lawrence will most certainly miss the weekend showdown with Motherwell at Ibrox as a precaution, but fingers crossed that it is not another lengthy absence following scans.

The Welshman was just getting into his stride, and you could feel his confidence in the encounter with Real Betis, as he took long-range attempts with ease, one of which even hit the post.

Danilo, Nico Raskin and Todd Cantwell are already three big-name absences haunting the squad at this moment, so another one on top of that is not welcome.

The Rangers staff will be taking no risks with Lawrence, especially given his recent record, so hopefully, the precaution taken will mean he can return as soon as possible.

Sam Lammers did come on to replace him and played a big part in the opening goal, so hopefully, that will give him confidence if he is the man to step in.
