Nicky Clark injury not too bad?

So the Daily Express says. Let's hope it's true....

"NICKY CLARK has given Rangers a boost as his shoulder injury is not as bad as first feared.

The striker came off in the weekend draw against Alloa with an arm injury, prompting concerns he had even dislocated his right shoulder.

Clark was at Murray Park for treatment yesterday and the medical staff are confident there has been no dislocation.

He has suffered ligament damage round the acromioclavicular bone but there is no lasting damage or need for surgery.

But the former Queen of the South star will miss tomorrow’s League Cup third- round tie with Falkirk and could sit out next weekend’s league clash at home to Hibs.

Gers boss Ally McCoist, who has already lost keeper Cammy Bell with a dislocated shoulder, also faces an anxious few days over Lewis Macleod, who also limped out of the Wasps game with foot and ankle knocks".

ALLY McCOIST expects Rangers to be without Nicky Clark and Lewis Macleod for the next two games at least after they were hurt at Alloa on Saturday.

Macleod went over his ankle in training ahead of the game then did the same thing again at Recreation Park just 12 minutes into the 1-1 draw.

Clark, meanwhile, sustained a couple of blows to his shoulder and had to be replaced before the break by Jon Daly.

Both players will miss tomorrow’s League Cup tie at Falkirk and that’s a blow given they were the scorers when Gers won 2-0 there in the Championship last month.

Kenny Miller is still sidelined as he continues his rehabilitation from a calf injury and he could also be a doubt for next Monday’s home league match against his old side Hibernian.

Cammy Bell, meanwhile, is set to go under the knife this week as he has surgery on the dislocated shoulder he suffered on Thursday at Murray Park.

On the plus side, Lee Wallace is in contention to play tomorrow after coming through training this morning unscathed.

McCoist said: “Lewis and Nicky won’t be available for tomorrow and probably for a couple of weeks or so.

“Lewis has a problem with his ankle and Nicky is obviously struggling with his shoulder. The two of them won’t make it.

“We’ll reassess them in due course but I’d put them down as doubtful for Monday’s game against Hibs as well.

“It’s a sore one for us. Lewis has been in a good vein of form but that’s just the way it is and we have to move on.

“Lee is fine. He trained this morning and he’ll come back in. At a push, he could probably have played at the weekend.

“But with the surface and there and the game tomorrow night coming up, we just didn’t want to risk him.

“Kenny is still out so we’ve certainly got problems but that’s fine. We know where we are and we just have to get on with it.”
