ian1964 10,669 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 RANGERS star Kyle Lafferty fears his season is FINISHED. The Ulsterman was carried off on a stretcher after twisting his right ankle when opening the scoring in Saturdayââ?¬â?¢s 2-2 draw with Hearts at Ibrox. Lafferty will undergo an MRI scan to determine the extent of the damage. But SunSport can reveal that Laffertyââ?¬â?¢s ankle is NOT broken. However it is understood he may have ruptured his ligaments and that could rule the luckless hitman out for the rest of the campaign. It is a huge blow for a player who was just beginning to win over the Ibrox support. The 21-year-old ââ?¬â? a Ã?£3.25million summer signing from Burnley ââ?¬â? was clearly in some distress as he was helped from the field at the weekend. His early strike handed Walter Smithââ?¬â?¢s side the lead before Gers skipper Barry Ferguson doubled the Ibrox sideââ?¬â?¢s advantage. But the Jambos staged a storming second-half fightback and snatched a point thanks to two goals in two minutes from Christos Karipidis and Ruben Palazuelos. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/article2334553.ece 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"just run it off" I knew and everyone else knew around us he was done form the second he hit the deck so did the player going by his reluctance to get back on the field 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whosthedado 1,625 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We did the same thing with Novo a couple of months back too. The unwillingness to make changes and spot things like this is one of the most galling aspects of our Management team at the present time 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
