Rangers captain Lawrence Shankland has confirmed that his recovery from hamstring surgery is progressing well. The 31-year-old striker sustained a torn hamstring that has ruled him out of Rangers' last three matches, with projections pointing toward a return to action in early 2027.

Shankland stated that his hamstring is healing properly after consulting a specialist, expressing hope that he will return by January well before the season run-in.
