Jordan Rossiter has made just six appearances for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers to date.

Glasgow Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has admitted that he is hopeful that Jordan Rossiter could return to fitness for the start of next season.

Rossiter was brought to Ibrox from Liverpool last summer, and there was great excitement around the central-midfielder’s arrival.

However, Rossiter’s time in Glasgow so far has been plagued with injury problems.

The 20-year-old has managed to play just six times for Rangers, and has not been seen since August.

However, the youngster returned to Rangers training earlier today.

And Caixinha is now hopeful that Rossiter can make a successful recovery in time for next season.

Rossiter’s current problem is to do with his back, with the England youth international seeing specialists in recent months to try and get to the bottom of the unusual injury.

If Rossiter does return, it should be a major boost for Rangers next season – and will boost the quality of their midfield options.
