Nikica Jelavic requires ankle surgery

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

Played 4-4-2 the last few times at the piggery. Miller needs a partner for these games imo, just hope hen plays weiss (which he probably won't).

Anyway i guess he knows what he is doing....

I have no doubt that he does

It will be interesting to see how he plays it anyway.

3 weeks less a day till the celtc match. Here's hoping.

[DietofWorms 2,067]

Why Croatia for the operation? It can't be that bad, I think it's a wee clean up and back in 3 weeks. :jelavic:

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Knew this was too good to be true,sooner or later someone had to get injured.

[Jamie1807 146]

Can it be that bad if he's travelled with Croatia?

[MayboleLoyal_atb 3,801]

Not good news. Wish him a speedy recovery.

[smoops 21]

The Rangers striker has sustained ligament damage and though the exact timescale of his recovery will not be known until after he has surgery on Tuesday. However, the Croatian FA reported the injury as “serious”.

Jelavic’s absence could see him missing some hugely important matches in the coming weeks, not least the Old Firm clash against Celtic at Parkhead on October 24.

Following the international break, the Ibrox side have a home match against Motherwell on October 16. Though Jelavic would not have been involved against Valencia the following midweek he is certain to have been in Smith’s plans for the Celtic match.

Barring a quick recovery, the Croatian hitman could also miss the Co-operative Cup tie at Kilmarnock on October 27 and the home SPL match against Inverness three days later.

Well it was going to happen sooner or later so the timing isn't too bad considering we don't play for a fortnight.

We've just got to hope Miller & Lafferty come through the internationals unscathed and Beattie gets his fitness up.

At least Laffertys been playing better than last season and wee Naisy can play off Miller if needed. ( like the Bursapor game).

Weiss will almost certainly feature every game til he returns.

[gunslinger 270]

naisy up front it is.

[Muff 245]

naisy up front it is.

If we play 4-4-2, then it will be Lafferty or Beattie upfront with Miller.

Don't like the idea of going to celtc park and playing Kenny Miller up on his own.

[WeeBlue 39]

If we play 4-4-2, then it will be Lafferty or Beattie upfront with Miller.

Don't like the idea of going to celtc park and playing Kenny Miller up on his own.

I think Walter will move Weiss to the right, play Lafferty on the left and Naismith will play off Miller.... that's assuming they're all fit.

[Glasgow Rangers 1]

Shocking tackle.

[Coplandbear11 1,087]

Ive always hated that wee prick Black. Dirty bastard should have seen red.

[G.E.C. 19,136]

Ian Black is a Hearts man. Still doesn't change the fact that he's an animal.

[KingKirk 25,895]

Its time for someone to nail mr black then he'll no longer be able to do this.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Huge loss, fucking raging at that cunt Black.

The fact the wee moron never got sent off either is shocking. Black makes no attempt to win the ball, the tackle then results in Jelavic being ruled out for weeks while Black gets away Scot free.

Massive blow, not just for the Celtic game but for Motherwell and the others he'll miss.

Hope he recovers well and step up Kyle son, here's your chance !

[Millsyrfc1 13]

Just in from football and seen the news on sky sports gutted but hopefully he comes back and gets revenge on that wee cunt black, you never no his uncle might come over

[dee9 3,997]

Looked a realy nasty tackle on tv, this was the kind of thing we had all been dreading as the squad is so small! Its now up to big lafferty or beattie to get himself fit and ready for the next game! Beattie will not be happy at the big man having to go under the knife but surely he must be looking at this as a great chance to shine!

Gutted

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

That wee rat black

Is it possibly at all to get lawyers on the case?

Rangers dont do things like that, we just let things go, 95% of the time, were an easy target for anyone who wants to have a go at us, either on the park or off it.

[ognjenko 19]

latest croatian news is that he is attending surgery tomorrow morning for ankle injury ... I watched the game and knew that blacks start is for prison (at least for red card...)

[martyboy2009 11]

Fucking shite, can't go down a legal route though. That's just sad.

[StevenDavis 112]

The script is written for Lafferty to redeem himself by playing out his skin at septic park and scoring against them in a victory.

[Gaffbear 4,107]

Fingers crossed it's minor surgery.........little prick black deserves a kick in the sack for what he done

[baltic_blue 108]

disgusting news. also why the fuck was he allowed to go back on? surely to fuck either himself or the physio must have new something was wrong. is this the same physio that let Edu play on when he done his ligaments against Dundee utd?
