Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are set to be without Kenny Miller for at least three months, says Tam McManus.
Tam McManus has said on the BBC Sportsound podcast, broadcast on December 19, that an ex-Hibernian physio told him that Rangers star Kenny Miller is looking at a minimum of three months on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury.
The Gers have been handed a blow that the 37-year-old hitman is out for the “foreseeable future” according to Herald Scotland, leaving the Ibrox side with Alfredo Morelos and struggling summer signing Eduardo Herrera as their only two established strikers.
Miller, who turns 38 on Saturday, hasn’t been lighting up the Premiership this season as age appears to have finally caught up with him, but it’s still a big blow for a Rangers side who have fought their way back into contention for the Premiership title.
And McManus, who revealed on Twitter on Tuesday that he has experienced the same injury, claims he has heard that the legendary marksman could be out for up to 14 weeks.
He told BBC Sportsound’s podcast: “It’s a really bad injury for Kenny, considering his age as well. There’s probably worse injuries like tearing your achilles or doing your cruciate.
“But it’s not just the physical aspect of this injury, it’s the mental one and he’s looking at a minimum of three months. I was talking to an ex-Hibs physio today and he was saying ‘probably three months’.
“It’s always going to be in the back of his mind as soon as you open your legs up again or accelerate that it could happen again. I haven’t seen a scan but best case scenario is probably 12 to 14 weeks [on the sidelines].”
