DAMARCUS BEASLEY could today be ruled out for MONTHS after damaging ligaments in his right knee last night.
DAMARCUS BEASLEY could today be ruled out for MONTHS after damaging ligaments in his right knee last night.
The winger was stretchered off in the second half in Stuttgart and left the ground on crutches.
He will undergo a scan today, but Beasley fears he could face a lengthy spell out.
Lee McCulloch was also the victim of a knee injury in the first half and was replaced by Charlie Adam, but he appears to be the less serious of Rangers two casualties.
Beasley said: "It looks like I've damaged a ligament, and I'll get a scan today to see just how bad it is.
"I've been lucky in my career with injuries and I've not missed many games.
"So I'll hope that this is another time when I'm OK, although it was very painful and that's a concern.
"I kind of twisted my knee when the keeper made contact, it wasn't his fault.
"I felt I could get to the ball first and lift it over him, but there was a collision and I came off the worst.
"It was disappointing as I felt I could cause them some problems on the break with my pace."
McCulloch took a kick on his knee in the 25th minute and left with an ice-pack on the injury, but hopes that it's nothing serious that will rule him out for much more than maybe the home game with Kilmarnock this weekend.
"It was a very painful kick and I'll need to let it settle down, but hopefully it won't be anything major," he said.
"I really don't want to be missing any games at this crucial stage of the season," McCulloch confirmed.
