What happened. Lawrence Shankland was forced off early in Rangers' 1-0 win over Motherwell on Saturday with a hamstring tear, and is expected to miss three to four months.
- Shankland is awaiting a scan in London to decide if he needs surgery.
- He previously missed nine weeks with a similar injury at Hearts last season.
- Rangers have other forwards like Ryan Naderi and new signing Kevin Kelsy.
“It's a 2C tear and similar to the one he did previously at Hearts in January.”
— Derek McInnes
Rangers face St Mirren on Wednesday, and Shankland's absence will test their squad depth.
