Leon King facing Rangers 'graded return' after suffering concussion against St Mirren

Rangers defender Leon King will undergo a "graded return" to first-team action after suffering a concussion during the showdown with St Mirren.

The youngster was stretchered off as Gio van Bronckhorst's men drew 1-1 during a disappointing performance against the Buddies on Saturday, following a collision with Curtis Main. He received lengthy treatment before being replaced by Ryan Jack in the second half in Paisley. The club has now offered a positive update on the 18-year-old, with the centre-back having time to recuperate with the Scottish Premiership on hold during the World Cup.

It read: "Leon King suffered a concussion in the second half of yesterday's match, and was taken to hospital for assessment. Leon was discharged from hospital late yesterday afternoon with advice. Today, Leon is sore but well. He will now rest completely and follow a graded return to play under the supervision of the medical team."
