Glasgow Rangers star Ross McCrorie’s injury could allow chances to Ibrox teammate Sean Goss and Andy Halliday.

Ross McCrorie of Rangers vies with Stuart Armstrong of Celtic during the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Ranger at Celtic Park on December 30, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Ross McCrorie is one of the best young players in Scotland, and the 19-year-old has established himself as an important player for Rangers.

The Scotland Under-21 international has shown by versatility by playing as a defensive midfielder despite being a defender by trade.

The youngster, though, is now facing a spell on the sidelines. According to The Scottish Sun, McCrorie may not be fit until the end of February.

While this is a blow for McCrorie, who has been deployed in midfield by manager Graeme Murty on a number of occasions this season, it is also an opportunity for his Rangers teammate Sean Goss and Andy Halliday.

Ben Mee of Burnley takes on Andy Halliday of Rangers during a pre-season friendly between Rangers FC and Burnley FC at Ibrox Stadium on July 30, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Goss has joined Rangers from Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in England in the January transfer window on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old is hungry for playing time, and if manager Murty throws him into action rightaway, then he should take his chance.

Halliday has returned from his loan spell at Gabala in Azerbaijan, and one suspects that the second half of the season is going to be important for the midfielder in regard to his future at Rangers.

If the 26-year-old gets his chance, then the midfielder should make the most of it and establish himself as a key figure in the Rangers midfield.
