Michael Beale has revealed Kemar Roofe will start pre-season with his Rangers team-mates with the hitman 'back out running'.
The former Leeds and Anderlecht man has a huge fan in the shape of the Light Blues boss but injuries have been an issue since he took over from Giovanni van Bronckhorst with the 42-year-old not really able to call on the services of the frontman. The same goes for Tom Lawrence as he continues to step up his recovery.
Beale expects the midfielder to be around three or four weeks behind Roofe in his road to fitness and recovery. Both will be like new signings for the Ibrox faithful should they get back to their best and avoid any further injuries or niggles. Roofe has been out in Qatar lately working with specialists and his boss has called on him to show he can be the player they know he is when he makes that long-awaited return.
