Rangers boss Michael Beale has confessed crocked defender Filip Helander has a 'unique problem'.
The Swede is out of contract in the summer and has yet to feature during Beale's tenure after suffering a long-term foot injury against St Mirren over a year ago. Helander was initially given a return timeline of March and it remained a mystery to Light Blues supporters as to why the centre-back hadn't returned to the pitch.
Helander has enjoyed success at Ibrox since joining from Bologna in summer 2019 as he played an important role under both Steven Gerrard and Gio van Bronckhorst until suffering this major setback. And when quizzed on Helander's road to recovery this week, Beale admitted: “Fil has a unique problem. It’s about bone structure in his foot and he’s away seeing a specialist. He’s not back on the pitch just yet.”
