Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed that Graham Dorrans has suffered another setback in his long road to recovery from a string of injuries.
The Gers midfielder has barely featured since being injured in Pedro Caixinha’s last game in charge in October 2017.
“Dorrans had a setback a couple of weeks ago after doing really well, we hope it won’t be too long,”
Gerrard said, as quoted by Rangers’ official Twitter account.
“He will go through a process building up to playing with the team. It’s very difficult at the moment to give a time. It’s very frustrating for us and for him.
The former West Brom midfielder made a brief return earlier this season and came off the bench against Villarreal in the Europa League.
But that was one of only three appearances he’s managed this season – games against St. Johnstone and Ayr United were the others.
If he can stay fit then he’s a good player to have around but with him likely on high wages and barely able to contribute then his long-term future must be in doubt.
At 31 and with a little under 18 months left on his Ibrox contract, the clock is starting to work against Dorrans now too.
