Kemar Roofe in fresh Rangers injury scare as striker 'sits out' trip to Portugal

Rangers are sweating the fitness of Kemar Roofe after the striker reportedly pulled out of their pre-season trip to Portugal due to injury.

Roofe missed a chunk of action towards the end of last season after sustaining a knock and that led to Joe Aribo being used as an auxiliary striker, with Alfredo Morelos also sidelined. But he was fit enough to play a cameo role off the bench in the Europa League Final and had been expected to travel to Portugal ahead of friendlies with Sunderland and Blackpool.

However the Scottish Sun are reporting Gio van Bronckhorst has been dealt a major blow, with Roofe hobbling off during an Auchenhowie training session before the squad flew out to the Algarve. He's now expected to stay in Glasgow while the rest of the team train abroad, and it's even claimed he could miss the Premiership opener with Livingston in three weeks' time.
