Rangers midfielder Graham Dorrans has been ruled out for a further three months due to injury, after undergoing ankle surgery this week.

The former Norwich City man has been out of action since October already, but a visit to a specialist in London led to quick surgery that means he will miss every match until the end of March at least.

It's a major blow to the Light Blues, who aren't exactly blessed with options in the middle of the park, relying on youngsters like Ross McCrorie and Jamie Barjonas in recent matches. While they've done well, it's always a risk to rely on teenagers to provide consistency in long spells.

Dorrans started his Rangers career well, fitting right into the midfield before Pedro Caixinha left the club. Since then Graeme Murty has deployed a diamond midfield formation that would likely play to the 30-year-old's strengths.

Supporters were gutted to hear the news and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on it all...
