Lawrence Shankland shares positive update on injury recovery

Rangers captain Lawrence Shankland has provided an update on his rehabilitation process following hamstring surgery. The 31-year-old striker has been sidelined for the club's last three matches after sustaining the injury.

Shankland confirmed that his recovery is progressing well. After receiving positive feedback from a recent specialist appointment, he is aiming for a return to competitive action in early 2027. The forward remains focused on getting back as quickly as possible to participate in the remainder of the season.

I'm getting there, slowly. Things are looking good. After getting feedback from the specialist, things are going in the right direction. The hamstring's healing well after the surgery. Hopefully, I'll be back in January time and there'll be a lot of football still to be played. Lawrence Shankland

This injury marks the first time the striker has required surgery during his playing career. While he admits the frustration of watching from the gym while his teammates train, he noted that the team's ongoing six-game winning streak has made his time on the sidelines easier to manage.
