RANGERS striker Joe Garner will have a scan on his injured left shoulder tomorrow, manager Mark Warburton has revealed.
The 28-year-old was stretchered off during the 2-1 Hogmanay defeat to Celtic at Ibrox and the Gers boss confirmed he suffered a dislocation.
However, Warburton underlined that he has been impressed with the speed of Garner's recovery and doubts the former Preston forward will face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
“Joe has a dislocated shoulder as you saw in the Old Firm game," Warburton told Rangers TV.
“He’s rugged Joe, he’s robust and our obvious concern is that we have to watch Joe and look after him.
“You always look after the health and welfare of any player but also recognise the way Joe plays the game. He’s aggressive, he’s all out, and he’s fearless in the way he plays.
“He has a scan on Wednesday. We’re very hopeful that the way he has recovered dramatically, in terms of the strength he has shown and the movement in the limb already, means we get good news from the scan and it won’t be too long to keep him out.
“But we do what’s right for Joe Garner so hopefully it will be good news.”
