Todd Cantwell is one of the Gers stars dealing with an injury, and new Rangers manager Philippe Clement will have to deal with a number of concerns regarding injuries before his team plays Hibernian at Ibrox.
On Saturday, the Belgian will manage his first game in the role of Beale replacement when Hibs visit Glasgow. Following a disappointing Premiership season thus far, Rangers has named Clement as their 19th manager to date. This season, Beale has five victories out of eight games.
Prior to Rangers’ matchup with Hibernian, Clement has received some injury boosts, but he will still be missing a number of key Gers players. He will be hoping that his good start to his stint at Ibrox is not ruined by any lingering fitness issues. Only once has he begun a managing position with a defeat.
Rangers’ most recent injury before playing Hibernian
After the international break, Rangers will play Hibernian at home in an attempt to reduce their seven-point disadvantage at the top of the Premiership standings. With the team in second place in the standings, the Gers benched Beale. Clement selected a team that this season has scored 13 goals while giving up five.
Against Hibernian, Clement should benefit from a few Rangers players who have recently returned to full fitness after injuries. In light of that, this is their current circumstance.
Prior to his first game in charge of the Rangers, Clement stated that Cantwell will make a comeback from a knee injury. The challenge that resulted in the Old Firm derby loss to Celtic in September caused the problem for the 25-year-old. Cantwell missed eight games as a result.
At first, Beale believed Cantwell had simply been hit. However, the injury turned out to be more complex, requiring six weeks of recuperation. Now, when Rangers play Hibernian, Cantwell will make his injured return for Clement’s first game as manager. He won’t likely play the entire ninety, though.
Clement promised that “Todd Cantwell will be back,” as reported by the Glasgow Times. “Cantwell won’t play in the 90 because he is increasing his workload after the injury.”
Hibernian is anticipated back on October 21.
Ryan Jack’s newest injury
Ryan Jack will make his injury comeback when Rangers meet Hibernian following the international break, according to Clement. In the Gers’ 3-1 loss to Aberdeen at home, the 31-year-old sustained an injury that prevented him from playing in Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain.
Jack missed Rangers’ matches against St Mirren and Aris Limassol, but Steve Clarke still called him up to play for Scotland. In the end, the 15-cap Tartan Army midfielder left their camp. However, Jack is now a candidate to play when Rangers play Hibernian.
