Young McCrorie is facing another month out of action with some fears that the season could be over for the Ibrox starlet.
The 20-year-old has been tipped as a future Balon d’Or winner after breaking into the Sevco first team at the start of the season.
Despite carrying an injury McCrorie travelled to the Florida Cup tournament last month with the Murray Park medics unable to get to the bottom of his sore foot.
Breaking the news the well informed Four Lads Had A Dream website reports: “Now the really bad news, Ross McCrorie has NOT been cleared by Club doctors as we and the club expected him to be. In fact his injury hasn’t improved meaning he misses the next 3-4 weeks minimum before he can be considered.
“The issue with his injury is now at critical point because if the player doesn’t react to this treatment, Rangers will have to reassess their options and the player may have to get surgery. This is obviously worst case scenario but the players season may well be in doubt if he doesn’t react positively. Now that’s worst case scenario, best case scenario is he does react and will be back in 3-4 weeks as stated.”
McCrorie played against Celtic on December 30 but is unlikely to play again until the back end of March.
Jordan Rossiter faces a similar lay off after picking up an ankle injury in the friendly against Valencia.
The former England youth team skipper was handed a four year contract by Mark Warburton in 2016 but has been dogged by injury since moving to Ibrox.
