Muff 245 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 RANGERS are waiting for the results of a scan on vital defender Davie Weir as they begin to make their preparations for Thursday's UEFA Cup semi-final 2nd leg in Florence. The influential centre back had to come off at Parkhead yesterday with a groin problem and the Murray Park medical team sent him to hospital to be checked. They are awaiting results of that test, but at this distance Weir is still a major doubt for the return with Fiorentina. Rangers managed to win 2-0 in Lisbon without him in the last round, but clearly his experience in a game of this stature would be huge. The news on Steven Davis is better in that his groin injury is not as bad as first feared but the medical team will see how things settle down in the next couple of days. Charlie Adam, meanwhile, is seeing a consultant tonight about his injured knee while DaMarcus Beasley has moved up a level in his training, although he is not yet in full training with the rest of the squad.

Muff 245 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Cuellar and Weir did well together in Lisbon so I wouldn't be too worried. I'd prefer Dailly in the midfield tho. I wonder if Beasley will be pushed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBlue 136 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Can't see DMB being pushed into firing line. We have Novo, Whittaker, Darcheville, Davies, Buffel and Gow - all of them can play wide midfield. Burke may also be fit before end of season (I think). No way will a guy who isn't even training with first team be used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 we should not put beasleys career on the line by rushing him back too quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Beasley will be pushed? If his Knee is strong enough and the physio are happy can see him taking a place on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
