Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers defender Danny Wilson missed the whole of pre-season with injury.

Danny Wilson has told the Daily Record that he is playing catch up with his Glasgow Rangers teammates fitness wise.

Wilson has not yet started a match for Rangers this season, but he has featured in all three of Pedro Caixinha’s side’s games as a substitute.

And the centre-back admits that missing pre-season with injury has proven to be a big set back.

He said: “I missed seven weeks of pre-season with my knee injury so I’m playing catch up in terms of general fitness, as well as match fitness.”

Wilson was a key player for Rangers last term, but appears to have a fight on his hands if he is to win a place back in Caixinha’s starting line-up.

Bruno Alves and Daniel Cardoso have formed a good partnership in Rangers’ central defence so far, although the pair could not stop the Light Blues falling to their first domestic defeat of the season at the weekend.

Rangers were beaten 3-2 by Hibernian at Ibrox, with Ryan Jack’s dismissal proving to be very costly for the Gers.

Rangers are next in action against Hearts on Saturday, and they will be under pressure to bounce back from defeat and return to winning ways.
