Rangers midfielder Graham Dorrans will be out of action for three months, according to STV.

It has been reported that the Rangers midfielder underwent ankle surgery on Wednesday and will be on the sidelines for up to three months.

Dorrans suffered the injury during the Rangers’ 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock at Ibrox back in October.

Blow for Rangers?

Dorrans is one of the best players on the books of Rangers, although the Scotland international’s form so far this season has not been great.

The 30-year-old midfielder joined the Gers from Norwich City in the Championship in England for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Record to be worth £750,000.

Rangers, though, have done well in the absence of Dorrans, and one suspects that caretaker-manager Graeme Murty would have prepared for this anyway.

The Gers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment, and there is a very good chance that they will finish runners-up this season.

However, losing Dorrans would still be a blow, as Rangers could have done with a player of his quality.
