Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack was stretchered off in their win at Ibrox.
Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack is at risk of missing the big game with Celtic this weekend.
Jack was stretchered off in the first half of their 2-0 win at Ibrox over Motherwell earlier this evening.
The midfielder was injured in a tackle and was immediately withdrawn by manager Graeme Murty after being deemed unfit to continue.
The severity of the injury is unclear, but at this early stage, the midfielder faces at minimum a race against time to recover to face Celtic this weekend, and could be ruled out entirely.
Manager Graeme Murty told Rangers’ official website: “I thought that it looked awful, but, what we have to do is to be calm and let our medical staff assess him.
“He is in a brace at the moment, we will have a look at him tomorrow and we’ll go from there. We’d have to say that he looks a doubt.”
“I followed the line of the ball and the ball went out. I just saw Ryan (Jack) lying in a heap and that was my immediate concern as something had happened.
“I’ll look back at it, but the fourth official said to me that it looked like a collision. I’ll have a look at it and see what we do from there.”
Former Aberdeen midfielder Jack featured in Rangers’ 2-0 loss to Celtic earlier this season, but has begun to find form since, and losing him for Saturday’s fixture would be a big blow for Graeme Murty’s side.
Rangers are already missing another summer signing Graham Dorrans through injury, with forward Kenny Miller also out until next spring.
Celtic have recently suffered an injury blow of their own, with Jack’s former Aberdeen teammate Jonny Hayes sustaining a broken leg which puts him out of action for the rest of the season.
