Injury Farce At Rangers As New Signing Ruled Out Before Preseason

Rangers Suffer Minor Setback as Lyall Cameron Picks Up Pre-Season Injury

Rangers have been handed an early pre-season setback following confirmation that Lyall Cameron has sustained a calf injury, ruling him out of upcoming preparations. Although the issue is not expected to be long-term, it comes as a frustrating development for both the young midfielder and manager Russell Martin, who had been eager to integrate Cameron more closely into his plans.

The injury reportedly occurred during light training, and given the unpredictable nature of calf strains, the club is taking a cautious approach. Cameron had recently been tipped for greater involvement after impressing coaching staff with his composure and energy during early sessions under Martin’s leadership.

His absence adds to Rangers’ current list of injury concerns, which already includes longer-term monitoring of John Souttar and minor setbacks for a few returning loanees. While this won’t drastically alter pre-season plans, it does reduce midfield options during a critical period as the squad begins to take shape.

Russell Martin will now be forced to consider other options in midfield as he looks to strike the right balance between youth and experience. Cameron’s intelligence and work ethic had been seen as a valuable asset, offering depth while learning alongside more senior players.

An external update has confirmed that the former Dundee man is expected to miss at least the first two pre-season fixtures. While early indications suggest a recovery period of around two weeks, calf injuries often demand patience, and Rangers will be hoping for a swift return.

Although not a major disruption, Cameron’s setback is a disappointing bump in the road as Rangers’ preparations for the new campaign intensify.
