Lafferty blow for Rangers

24 November 2010 15:30
Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty will miss the Champions League clash with Manchester United at Ibrox after breaking a bone in his hand in a freak accident on Wednesday morning. Walter Smith confirmed that the Northern Ireland international will require an operation and could be out of action for four weeks. The news is a massive blow for the Light Blues' boss with his squad already stretched to the limit. It now means that Lafferty is unlikely to feature in Rangers' remaining games in 2010 and he will also be a major doubt for the Old Firm derby at Ibrox on January 2.
