Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has told The Daily Record that Ibrox midfielder Graham Dorrans has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury.

Dorrans has suffered with ankle and knee injures since his move to Rangers from Norwich City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £1.5 million.

The 31-year-old Scotland international midfielder played against Villarreal and Ayr United this season, and seemed to have overcome his injury problems.

However, Rangers manager Gerrard has revealed that the former West Bromwich Albion midfielder has suffered a setback in his fitness.

Gerrard told The Daily Record: “Graham has had a bit of a setback this week and has gone back to see the surgeon.”

Blow for Graham Dorrans

Dorrans has failed to make a massive impact at Rangers due to his injury problems, and the latest setback will come as a blow to the former Norwich star.

There is no doubt that the Scotland international is a very good footballer who can be an asset for Rangers if he is fit and plays regularly.

Rangers are challenging for the Premier League title this season and are also aiming to progress to the knockout stages of the Europa League.
