John Souttar has been ruled out until after the winter break following surgery as Rangers head to Tynecastle on Saturday with Tom Lawrence still sidelined.
Souttar has featured just once since moving to Ibrox in the summer after signing a pre-contract last January to move from Hearts and that came on the opening league weekend of the season when he was substituted off in the 67th minute of the win over Livingston.
The top flight will shut down in mid-November before resuming a month later and it’s a blow to the defender and Gers. Souttar hasn't had his injury troubles to seek during his career so far, twice rupturing his Achilles during six years at Tynecastle, as well as suffering previous hip and ankle injury which combined saw him sidelined for over two-and-a-half years.
