Guest superrcooper7 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Rangers manager Ally McCoist has been handed a much-needed injury boost after Kirk Broadfoot and Kane Hemmings both returned to full training. Defender Broadfoot has been out of action since December, while young striker Hemmings has been sidelined for the last two months with his latest injury set-back. However, the pair could be in contention for this weekend's Scottish Premier League game at Dunfermline and set to bolster McCoist's sparse resources. Ibrox coach Ian Durrant told the club's official website: "Kane and Kirk are back with us now so that's two more bodies we've got to add to the squad which can only be a good thing. "They have been working hard and are clearly desperate to get back playing. That's good to see especially as we have a big month ahead now. "We have three really important SPL coming up in February and our target is to take nine points. That's the challenge for us and the more players the manager has available to him the better.'' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I knew we'd rush Hemmings back quickly and said so last night. I think he only just started running again last week and now he's back in full training this week, set to maybe play at the weekend. You'd think a lad who's had four knee operations in a year might be eased back into things slowly to make sure he's fully recovered and doesn't do more damage to his knee by coming back too quickly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Can't imagine Broadfoot could be worse than Bartley... Hemmings should now get his chance (although most probably as a sub); however, you have to wonder if his lack of fitness as well as experience could have the crowd on his back pretty quickly... Let's hope he hits the ground running. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,220 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Broadfoot is better at right back than Bartley as he offers more in an attacking sense. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Broadfoot, while not the classiest....he is at least an experienced RB - unlike bartley!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If Broadfoot has 3 good games from 4, I'll be supporting him. One against septic would do the trick as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think Broadfoot is under-rated. A better defensive RB than Whittaker and, IMO, better both defensively AND offensively than Bartley (as a RB). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I remember when he was named in the Scotland squad, there was talk of him not being good enough for a Scotland jersey, then the damn pest went and scored a goal. Doesn't he know thats not meant happen in a Scotland jersey. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergatrude 0 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 IMO Broodfoot is an OK CB, but possibly the worst RB I have seen at the Gers. He played 3 or 4 good games for us but in between was absolute guff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
