Rangers defender Borna Barisic limped out of today’s match against Ross County at Ibrox, as per BBC Scotland’s live text commentary of the fixture.
It’s said he was chasing back in pursuit of Regan Charles-Cook before going down injured. He was eventually replaced by summer signing Calvin Bassey.
It’s a potentially big blow to Steven Gerrard ahead of his squad’s visit to Celtic Park on October 17th.
Rangers supporters showed significant concern on social media during the game, but the extent of his injury is not yet clear.
Barisic has been one of the Ibrox outfit’s best performers this season, registering six assists in 12 matches as a mainstay of the team.
Gerrard is already sweating over injury problems for Joe Aribo, Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten.
Celtic meanwhile head into the encounter in mostly great shape.
James Forrest is the only regular this season who is currently confirmed to be absent for the encounter.
Neil Lennon has recently provided a hopeful injury update on striker Albian Ajeti.
Meanwhile, long-serving stars such as Tom Rogic and Leigh Griffiths came back into the team today and looked sharp against St Johnstone.
The upcoming international break will be a nervous time for both managers as a variety of players from the Glasgow teams travel far and wide to represent their countries.
Fingers crossed there are no Bhoys on the treatment table when they return to Lennoxtown.
In other news, Neil Lennon believes the transfer window is having an impact on Odsonne Edouard.
