Michael Beale has been limited to picking Tom Lawrence’s brains since taking over at Rangers.
But the Light Blues boss is looking forward to the fast-approaching day when he’ll be able to pick the injured Ibrox ace for his new-look line-up. The former Derby skipper hasn’t kicked a ball for the team he joined last summer since injuring knee ligaments back in August.
Encouraged by a string of promising early displays for the man who signed him Gio van Brockhorst, the Ibrox faithful were initially reassured his lay off would only keep him out a couple of weeks. But it’s been one thing and after another for the Welshman and he’s now not expected back until after Beale’s squad gather for pre-season at the start of July.
