Michael Beale has told Tom Lawrence how he will fit into his Rangers plans as he opened up on his pre-season return plans for the midfielder.
The Light Blues brought in the former Derby County skipper last summer and after an excellent start both domestically and in the Champions League qualifiers he suffered an injury in August that has ruled him out ever since. He's been working hard behind the scenes as he bids to get back to full fitness with a new era kicking-off at Ibrox.
Lawrence - brought to Glasgow by Giovanni van Bronckhorst - hardly got to play for the Dutchman while he is yet to play under Beale. The 42-year-old expects the Wales cap to return alongside his team-mates a few weeks into pre-season but also offered caution by saying he does have 8-10 months to make up after an extended period out while also insisting he will be a 'really important' player.
