Leon King has vowed he'll be back stronger than ever after his pre-season injury blow.
Rangers confirmed that the young defender would be missing for a "significant period of time" after suffering an ankle injury during their training camp in Germany. It's a big blow to the 19-year-old, who made 26 appearances for the Gers last season and was invited to train with Steve Clarke's Scotland squad this summer with a view to getting him prepared for international football further down the line.
But those ambitions have been put on hold for now as he concentrates on getting back to full fitness. In response to Rangers confirming the news, King tweeted: "Gutted Not what anyone wants in pre season , but I’ll be back stronger soon Thanks for the messages everyone , take care." The development leaves Michael Beale a touch short of central defensive options if he is to adopt a back three this season.
