Rangers dealt big injury blow as Clement gives transfer update

Rangers boss Philippe Clement has confirmed the club have been dealt a big injury blow ahead of the

game against Dumbarton.

The news that midfielder Kieran Dowell will be sidelined for an extended period of time has handed

Rangers a serious blow.

The Glasgow team played FC Copenhagen in a friendly last night, and head coach Philippe Clement said

that Dowell might be sidelined for some time following an injury he sustained during the team’s La

Manga training camp. Goals from Rabbi Matondo and Cyril Dessers gave the team a 2-2 tie. In addition,

he provided the supporters with a thorough transfer update before Saturday’s matchup with Dumbarton.

“Kieran was really unlucky that he stuck in the grass on a bad pitch in La Manga. He will be out quite a

long time normally” admitted the head coach. “We need to make an assessment around that and how

many weeks but he will not be back in the next couple of weeks that’s for sure” added Clement.

Dowell started to show promise following his injury and made five starts for the team as they kept

getting better under the new manager, so the loss will be devastating to both the individual and the

team. On the injury front, Clement did have some good news, as Dijon Sterling is anticipated to return

“by the end of the week.”
