Rangers star Danilo provides injury update from hospital

Rangers forward Danilo has provided an injury update after undergoing surgery.

The Brazilian suffered a suspected compound fracture after a clash of heads with St Johnstone defender Liam Gordon during the Ibrox side's recent 2-0 win at McDiarmid Park.

Danilo stayed on the ground and was quickly assessed by Rangers medical staff, who deemed he could not continue.

And Light Blues boss Michael Beale confirmed at full-time that the striker would be going under the knife.

The 24-year-old posted a photo of his hospital room on his Instagram story, captioned with a psalm from the bible.

He wrote: "I lift my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

“The Lord watches over you – the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

"The Lord will keep you from all harm – he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”

Meanwhile, former Rangers winger Ryan Kent seems to have been offered a lifeline after struggling for game time at new club Fenerbahce.

The Englishman came off the bench with a minute left of normal time against Antalyaspor in a 3-2 win recently as he continues to be on the fringes of the squad.

It is the third game in a row the 26-year-old has failed to start for the Turkish giants.

However, Fenerbahce boss Ismail Kartal appears to have given a positive nod to Kent over recent events.

He said: "We will buy  the players we need, we want to buy players who will contribute to us and add quality.

"We don't make transfers just for the sake of it, and All of our players are valuable, we trust all of them very much.

"We will continue our way this way for now."
