LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 RANGERS face an anxious wait to see how serious new signing David Templeton’s injury is after he was carried off in the opening moments of today’s draw with Annan.The former Hearts (SFL3 feeder club) winger left the field on a stretcher after a fierce challenge and his left ankle was hurt.Templeton left Galabank shortly after the final whistle with club doctor Paul Jackson to get an x-ray and scan at a nearby hospital to check for any further damage.He departed on crutches and wearing a protective boot as a precaution but boss Ally McCoist hopes the knock is too serious.It was badly swollen though and the manager said: “We’re not sure how bad it is at the moment but he’s going to get checked at the hospital.“He’ll get an x-ray and a scan there so we’ll know better what the situation is after he’s been looked at.“Having spoken very, very briefly with the doctor and the physio, I know his ankle swelled right up immediately after the incident.“That’s all I know at the moment but it was disappointing to lose him. He offers us so much as he’s a bundle of tricks and he does well in the wide areas.“I felt we were too tight and narrow today and it showed that he wasn’t in the side after he went off.“Temps was a big, big loss to us because he certainly puts crosses in, creates things and scores goals. We’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed on that one.”http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2203-gers-wait-on-temps? :anguish: :anguish: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiebreak54 151 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 The tackle was so late I missed it. Did the guy even get booked? The referee was abysmal.....again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamie 4,842 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 These Div3 teams are going to break legs, its a disgrace. Refs dont seem to bother carring red cards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewBrock 13 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 My mate used to play in Div 3 and he told me a boy threw a punch at the ref and he just laughed it off no booking nothing-its a disgrace Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaltersOnTheWing 50 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Dont think he left on a stretcher. He'll be out for 4 weeks minimum i reckon if his ankle has swollen up badly straight after it happening. Sounds like ligaments. If its badly strained or torn, will be much longer. Bad news.

RFC Rob 112 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 He wasn't stretchered off, he limped off with the assistance of one of the medical guys. Looked like real sore one and could be reasonably serious. Wouldn't be surprised if he's out for a month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_1974 204 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Plan for the worst, hope for the best. Having 'done' both ankles would expect this to be a minimum of three weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hope he's ok, this hurlock assaults need stamped out.Was it a bad challenge?...I didn't see a replay of it but looked pretty innocuous at the time. As soon as he went off we literary had no width at all...hopefully its not to bad and he's back for the Motherwell game...although that looks unlikely.

Clearly some of these lower league players have the bit between the teeth with something to prove and someone will end up getting a real bad one if it continues. Some of the refereeing performances so far have been worrying...Some of the decisions today were terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
