bluenose_72 198 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 In Walter's post match press conference, he says that both are knee injuries. Lafferty's was a direct hit to the knee so was sore at the time, but Bartley's is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,628 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 bartley is fine, this is smiths excuse to give weir the full game on sundayremember smith saying webster was injured all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,961 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Laffertys looked worse at the time, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bartleys was worse given that he was allowed to play on. I'm sure Mr Wenger will be happy if that caused more damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappa 24 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Do we play Bartley if he's 50% knowing it could possibly be his last game of the season if he takes a knock again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 RANGERS are counting the cost of their Euro exit with the news that Kyle Bartley and Kyle Lafferty are struggling to be fit for Sunday's League Cup Final with Celtic.Bartley failed to finish the match when he hobbled with a knee injury at the end of the contest and is rated doubtful for the Hampden showdown.While Lafferty was carried off in 66 minutes against PSV having taken a kick on the knee and is also a major doubt.Boss Walter Smith said: "We will know better tomorrow but Bartley is more doubtful."Both have knee injuries but Bartley's is worse than Lafferty's as he took a kick and it might not be so bad."The injury to Kyle had an effect on us because he had been doing well and we took some time adjust to the change and it lost us a bit of momentum."Richard Foster is ineligible for the final after appearing on the bench for Aberdeen in the early part of the competition so Walter Smith has some difficulties in terms of selection.Vladimir Weiss failed to make the PSV match because of more trouble with his ankle and it remains to be seen if he will be fit for Hampden.http://www.rangers.co.uk/articles/20110317/final-worries-for-gers_2254024_2318535 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 When I saw Lafferty lying there for a while I thought it was a cruciate. Bartley will be a big loss if he misses this one. Not great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
