Neraysho Kasanwirjo has dealt Rangers a major injury blow.
The Light Blues defender was in action for the Netherlands Under-21 side against England this evening (November 18) when he overstretched whilst tussling for the ball with an opposition player.
He immediately fell to the ground and it's suggested that the 22-year-old may have sustained a serious knee injury.
Kasanwirjo, who was visibly shaken, went straight down the tunnel to receive treatment on the issue.
The setback comes ahead of a gruelling fixture schedule for Rangers as they balance Scottish Premiership duties with the Europa League. Plus, there's the small matter of a Premier Sports Cup final to come against Celtic next month.
Kasanwirjo was a Deadline Day recruit, penning a season-long loan at Ibrox from Feyenoord with the option to make the move permanent next summer.
He's made 12 appearances for Rangers so far...but it remains to be seen when he will wear the jersey again.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
