It took Ryan Jack a month to shake off the effects of a shuddering Champions League challenge from Ibrahima Konate that was so hard it left him with whiplash.
Watching from the sidelines as Rangers ’ form hit the floor in the four weeks he was out must have been a pain in the neck too. But now he’s fully fit again the midfielder is desperate to make up for lost time for both club and country.
Jack was hit with a double whammy from Liverpool defender Konate in the 7-1 humbling in Govan last month. His calf bore the brunt of the France international’s tackle but he was also left nursing a neck strain after being scythed down. It was the latest frustration in a stop-start season for the 30-year-old. But he hopes the niggles are now firmly in the past. Jack returned to action with a half-hour substitute appearance in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at St Mirren.
