Danny Rohl will be looking to ramp up the game time of Rangers midfielder Connor Barron post his return from injury.
Barron was ruled out with a knee injury since January and did not play a single minute of football until the weekend’s clash against St Mirren.
Rohl named the Scotsman on the bench and brought him on in the second half to give him 18 minutes of game time.
Connor Barron unlikely to play 90 minutes vs Aberdeen
Speaking exclusively to Rangers News, Dr Brar claimed that Barron will not yet be ready to play the full 90 minutes.
Whether or not he will be cleared to start will hinge on his progress behind the scenes, but playing the entire game is a bit premature for him at this stage.
The injury expert states that Rangers will gradually look to ramp up his game time and do their best to avoid any re-injury risk.
Dr Brar said: “Having him return to the matchday squad and then getting minutes off the bench was undoubtedly a positive.
“He had returned to training a few weeks prior, but it is understandable why the club are easing his return to first-team football.
“The plan will be to avoid re-injury and get him up to speed until the end of the season.
“He still is not likely to play the full 90 minutes as his game time will gradually be ramped up.”
Will Barron become a first-team regular at Rangers?
Rangers have missed an all-action midfielder willing to put his body on the line for the team in Barron’s absence.
If he continues to perform as he did in the first half of the season, Rohl will have no option but to start him regularly.
Neither Nico Raskin nor Tochi Chukwuani bring what he does to the table, and there will be games from now until the end of the season when Barron’s physical presence will be needed in the middle of the park.
Hopefully, he does not suffer any setbacks and he can end the season in perfect health and contribute to a potential title-winning run.
