Rangers ace Alex Lowry now ruled out for months as official Ibrox update emerges
Rangers have confirmed that Alex Lowry has suffered an injury that will keep him out of action for up to two months, while sharing if he will leave on loan.
Lowry returned to the club from Hearts after spending the first half of the season in Edinburgh, with reports suggesting he was set to head back out for the second half of the campaign.
However the 21-year-old midfielder now looks set to stay at Ibrox after suffering an injury that will keep him out for up to two months, with Philippe Clement admitted it’s not an ideal situation as he’s unlikely to play much.
“Alex Lowry returned from Hearts with an injury – and will be out for the next 6-8 weeks,” he said. “We didn’t know the severity of his injury when he first returned.
“Alex Lowry is a talented player – he developed away on loan and we are disappointed he is injured. It is difficult for him to get minutes here – so it is not an ideal situation.”
Blow
Lowry is one of the best young talents to come out of the Rangers academy in recent years, and he looked set to break into the first-team not too long ago.
He was playing regularly and there were fans calling for him to get more starts, but his career has stagnated a lot over the last 12 months and it’s a real shame.
He clearly has the talent to make it at Ibrox, but injuries are consistently an issue for him and without regular game time it’s hard to see how he will develop and continue to improve.
He’s now set to miss a huge chunk of game time once again and will be denied a move to go elsewhere, meaning it’s likely to be another six months wasted for him.
Lowry needs to find a way to stay fit and break into the team if he wants a future at the club, but a summer transfer away to restart in fresh surroundings now seems like the most likely option.
