Boab 73 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 New Blow For Smith by Lindsay Herron RANGERS were dealt another injury blow today with it was revealed that Stevie Smith is out of the pre-season trip to Holland and Germany. Smith, who was out for over a year with groin and pelvic problems from December 2006, is suffering from an ankle injury. However, the good news is that it is not serious and although he will miss the pre-season trip he should be fit to rejoin the squad when they return. The 22-year-old left back knew that this season was going to be a huge one for him trying to win back the slot from Sasa Papac, who had an excellent 2007/08 season. So he was desperate to be part of the pre-season tour where he hoped to show Walter Smith that he was ready to stake his claim. Assistant boss Ally McCoist told rangers.co.uk: "I'm gutted for Stevie but the good news is that the injury is not serious. "He took a bang on the ankle in training and it means he will miss the trip to Holland and Germany. "However, he has done the vast majority of the pre-season work which will stand him in good stead and the physios think he will only be out for a week or so." http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...1341974,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWWBK 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 He's only out for a week, it's nothing serious. Im surprised that the offical site broke this story. The last thing the fans needed was more injury news, this is only going to cause needless knee jerks reaction. An absolute non story that could have been casually filtered through the media.

johnny123 5 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Feel sorry for Smith. Let's hope he really is just out for a week or so. Big,big season for the boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 hahahahahahahaha Some pathetic responses to this thread. Lets get rid of an upcoming player who has battled through injury hell, because hes out for a week. Bit OTT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polar bear 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The absolute last thing he needed He wasn't going to make the team,so I wouldn't worry too much? way overrated anyway,he may make a decent back-up,if he ever gets fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,870 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The only thing im worried about is him gaining the form he had prior to his injury. He was on fire! Still a blow all the same would have been good to get him involved in some pre season games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billythebear1986 317 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 i really jus wish him well. he is the most natural left back weve had at the club since numan, would love him to push himself back to his old self. remeber before his injury he was the strong wingback out of him and hutton, look where alan is now and look were he came from with his broken leg.
