Confirmed: Ryan Jack ruled out for Rangers clash v Hibernian
Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack has been ruled out of the Scottish Premiership clash against Hibernian on Wednesday evening.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed the blow after the 5-0 win over Hearts on Sunday afternoon at Ibrox.
The blow isn’t said to be too serious, but it will keep him out of the showdown with Hibs tomorrow evening (09 February).
Speaking in his press conference today, as shared on the club’s official Twitter account, Van Bronckhorst confirmed the blow.
“Ryan Jack is out after a problem with his ankle, he will be out of the squad for tomorrow,” he wrote.
“I don’t think it is serious, he got a knock during the game. It is not a serious injury.”
Got to be kidding.
Wow, this is a crushing new injury blow.
Especially for Jack, who will have seen the light at the end of the tunnel after returning from his latest injury in the past week.
The midfielder earned his first start since February 2021 against Hearts, and was one of the best on the pitch again after his substitute cameo at Celtic.
Thankfully, it doesn’t look too serious, but you have got to be concerned for the confidence of our midfield star given he has been here so many times before.
Van Bronckhorst will too have big concerns, although the quality is still there, it gets to a stage where you simply cannot rely on a player and his fitness in their career.
Hopefully, that isn’t creeping up on Jack.
