Kemar Roofe offers Rangers fitness hope as striker steps up Premiership opener return attempt

Kemar Roofe's Rangers recovery continues apace as the striker aims to get himself fit for the season opener.

The Jamaican was left behind as Rangers flew out to the Algarve last week for a pre-season training camp. He suffered an injury during a training session prior to the squad flying out from Glasgow airport, so stayed at home in order to receive treatment and work on his fitness.

There were concerns that the calf problem could force him to miss the 2022/23 Premiership kick-off. Giovanni van Bronckhorst takes his team to Livingston for the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday, July 30 as they begin their attempt to wrestle the title back from champions Celtic. But Roofe is hard at work an an attempt to be ready for the opening day and has offered fans hope that he'll make it. The 29-year-old was shown doing conditioning work in the gym, strengthening his calf muscle as physio Andy Renshaw put him through his paces.
