Key Rangers first teamer Russell Martin has received an injury boost after going to visit a specialist, according to the Daily Record.
The newspaper claims that the 32-year-old went to the Midlands to see a specialist about an injury that kept him out of the recent Old Firm defeat to Celtic.
It is understood the defender has received good news and is likely be available for the next mach against Motherwell on 31 March.
Martin was forced to pull out of the Scotland squad due to his injury concerns and is missing the international friendlies against Costa Rica and Hungary.
The centre-back has become a key figure at Ibrox since he joined on loan from Norwich in January.
He has become an ever-present in the heart of defence and impressed supporters in his nine appearances.
OPINION
Martin’s injury boost is great news for Rangers and they will need him even more due to the fact that David Bates is sidelined for the foreseeable future. The Scottish centre-back has become an important player for the Light Blues and his leadership at the back is vital. Graeme Murty’s side have seen their slim hopes of a title challenge fade even further away after back-to-back defeat, but they still have second in the league to play for. They need to get back to winning ways when they face Motherwell and Martin can be expected to play a key role in lifting the group.
