The Price of Pragmatism: When a Club's Priorities Collide Rangers' captain Lawrence Shankland may be out for up to four months after suffering a hamstring tear that could require surgery, dealing the team a significant blow.
His absence, combined with fellow striker Youssef Chermiti's extended period out due to an ACL injury, leaves manager Derek McInnes without his top two goal scorers.
Rangers' squad depth looks decent on paper, but the reality is that Shankland's departure will be felt deeply. The team was built around his attacking prowess, and replacing him with individual players won't be enough.
