MacLeod out for up to 2 months with medial ligament damage

[Ozblue 4,331]

Absolutely, scarkev. All too often knee injuries are season enders.

Back in the 60's and 70's, they were sometimes career enders. Treatment has come a long way since those days, thankfully.

Gutted for the lad, stand out player for me this season. Atleast its not a serious one, shouldnt cause future problems.

He'll be back in time to stuff the tims in the cup final

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798]

tbh I am relieved I thought he was gonna be out for the rest of the season.

Gutted but relieved at same time, Lewis will be back and hopefully ready for the end of season party.

Gutted

[Hamie 4,842]

im more relieved than anything.

hes young he'll probably be back in a month

[Hoodster 162]

Strangely relieved with this news - had a bad feeling when I was watching the tackle on RTV. At first thought it could have been a break and then the worry of an ACL.

He should come back 100% from a medial tear and probably walking fine in 2 or 3 weeks from now. Some rest, a few weeks in the gym, build up his fitness and the boy will be back better than ever.

I have high hopes for the lad - great to see a "genuine" good young prospect at Ibrox.

Better news than I had feared we would get.

Exactly what i was going to say.

[HG5 11,112]

Thought it was a really bad one at the time.

Still bad enough, but glad to hear they're talking about him being back before the end of the season.

[WWTC 2,247]

Sickner, mcleods been one of the ones ive really enjoyed watching, he seemed to get better almost every game.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,781]

You know what it is a gutter if that's true but as far a knee injuries go it could have been alot worse...hopefully he gets back to full fitness as soon as possible.

Time for Ian black to step up!

I actually think this puts more pressure on Shiels to step up.

As the season has gone on McLeod seems to have grown as a player and is taking on more responsibility to create things and I don't think Black has that in his locker. He's more of a water carrier sort, and so is Hutton.

I think it's time that we tried playing Shiels through the middle, off of a front man and give him a real chance to try and reach the level he was at last season because if he gets to that level again he will be a real asset for us.

He is a young lad and a great prospect for the future. Looking forward to having him back at the tail end of the campaign.

If Rangers get to keep the 3rd Div. trophy Lewis deserves it home with him for a month at least.
