Rangers injury news as Ryan Jack withdraws from Scotland squad
Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack has withdrawn from Steve Clarke’s latest Scotland squad, according to BBC Sport.
The publication reported on its website on Monday (9 October) that Jack has pulled out of Clarke’s setup ahead of their match with Spain.
Scotland travel to Sevilla to take on the European giants in European 2024 qualifying action on Thursday (12 October).
“Ryan Jack has withdrawn from the Scotland squad before Thursday’s Euro 2024 qualifier away to Spain,” according to BBC Sport. “The midfielder has missed Rangers’ past two matches after picking up an injury against former club Aberdeen.”
Blow
Rangers have missed Jack in their midfield in recent times, with the 31-year-old lasting just 45 minutes in the recent clash with Aberdeen.
He was hugely impressive in that encounter, but unfortunately was withdrawn at half-time in what was Michael Beale’s last game as manager of the Gers.
Interim boss Steve Davis was then not able to call upon his midfield teammate for the meetings with Aris Limassol and St Mirren.
And now Scotland boss Steve Clarke will not be able to consider the player for selection due to the injury. Along with their huge clash against Spain, the nation also take on France in this international break in friendly action next Tuesday (17 October).
The manager does, however, still have the likes of Scott McTominay, Callum McGregor, John McGinn and Lewis Ferguson to call upon in midfield. It is certainly a blow for Jack, who would have been keen to extend his tally of 16 international caps for Scotland.
In other Rangers news, Gers fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as an “unmatched” Brendan Rodgers statistic emerges.
