Rangers player's injury fears eased as loan boss issues positive five-word update

Rangers talent Josh McPake looks to have avoided an injury problem at loan club Tranmere Rovers.

The winger from Coatbridge limped out of Rovers' midweek win in League Two over Stevenage just after half-time.

There were concerns that an injury spell could be upon McPake again, after his loan at Morecambe in the first half of this season was blighted by fitness concerns.

But Tranmere boss Micky Mellon has eased any fears ahead of a trip to Barrow this Saturday with news that his Rangers loanee is already back in training following his knock.

While coy on the Coatbridge star's overall state, Mellon confirmed on Friday: "Josh McPake has trained today."

McPake joined Tranmere on loan in January until the end of the season following his spell in Morecambe.

He's also had loan stints at Greenock Morton, Dundee and Harrogate Town as parent club Rangers look to build up his senior experience.
