Rangers forward Kemar Roofe big doubt for Hearts clash
Rangers forward Kemar Roofe has been classed as another doubt to miss the trip to Hearts on Sunday afternoon (12th December).
The Bears travel to Tynecastle looking to continue their brilliant form in the Scottish Premiership under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The Jamaican international started in the 1-1 draw against Lyon last night (9th December) but was replaced midway through the second half.
Van Bronckhorst shared the latest news on his squad ahead of the trip to Edinburgh and it wasn’t the best update.
Ryan Jack has once again picked up another injury in training this week, meaning he will be missing for the foreseeable future.
Jo Hendry relayed the news on her personal Twitter account on Friday (10th December), with Roofe looking set to miss out.
“Kemar Roofe is also a doubt for Sunday,” she wrote.
Rest.
Roofe clearly hasn’t been 100% fully fit since returning from the international break with Jamaica back in November.
He has contributed despite that, smashing home the winning penalty against Hibernian in the past couple of weeks in a vital win.
With Alfredo Morelos and Fashion Sakala were rested against Lyon last night, they will be ready to step in and take their spots at Tynecastle.
Van Bronckhorst has an army of dangerous options in the final third, and it looks as though they are going to be unleashed.
Now is the time for Roofe to be rested over the weekend, and let him 100% recover before returning over the Christmas period.
