Rangers manager Ally McCoist is hopeful midfielder Jamie Ness can finally get an extended run free from injury and kick-start his career.[LNB] The 20-year-old got his first taste of action since April when he came on during a friendly defeat by Chelsea on Saturday.[LNB]Ness burst into the first team at the turn of the year, scoring a spectacular goal against Celtic in the Scottish Cup in February, but his season was soon curtailed by calf and groin injuries.[LNB]The left-sided midfielder showed enough class and guile in his brief spell in the side to mark him out as one to watch and McCoist is hopeful he can fulfil his potential.[LNB]Ness suffered from serious injuries during his formative years at Murray Park but a trip to Germany in the summer appears to have rid him of the problems that halted his progress earlier this year.[LNB]McCoist, whose team take on Inverness in the SPL on Saturday, told Rangers TV: "Without wanting to put any pressure on the lad, Jamie is a player who definitely excites us on the coaching and management side.[LNB]"The biggest problem he has had, he seems to struggle to string two or three games together.[LNB]"But he went to see a specialist in Germany this summer and he seems happier within himself now.[LNB]"He is certainly feeling good in his head and his body now and we hope he can kick on."[LNB]Meanwhile, Rangers have recalled Scotland Under-21 goalkeeper Grant Adam from a loan spell at Forfar after Scott Gallacher suffered a thigh injury.
