Ryan Naderi could miss Rangers' title run-in due to 'serious' injury
Last updated 10th Apr 2026
Danny Rohl revealed Ryan Naderi has picked up a “serious” injury which casts doubt on his contribution to Rangers’ Premiership title run-in.
The 22-year-old striker, signed from Hansa Rostock in the winter transfer window, was taken off at half-time after scoring his first league goal in the 4-2 win over Dundee United at Ibrox last Saturday.
Speaking ahead of the trip to Falkirk on Sunday, boss Rohl, said of Naderi: “Not well. We assessed him, it’s a serious one. We don’t know when he’s back.
“I think, in general, it is the kind of injury, a muscle injury, you have to look week by week.
“We have to re-scan him in two weeks and then we will know more about how long.”
Asked if there was hope that Naderi could return before the end of the season, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss said: “The hope is always there but I think we have to wait two weeks and then we see a little bit more, how it goes with the treatments, all those things.
“It’s never nice when you lose players from your squad. Sometimes in football it happens and, for this, we need everyone in this squad, as I said many times.
“I think Ryan has made a great impact since he arrived, not just the goals. He worked hard for this first goal but also a lot of work off the ball, against the ball, a lot of runs for the team.
“But it is football, we have to look for a new solution. We have a lot of players that are available. They’re ready for this and, yeah, we have to stick together.”
Left-back Tuur Rommens will again be unavailable, while there are question marks over Andreas Skov Olsen and Mikey Moore.
Rommens, the 23-year-old full-back who signed from Westerlo in January, missed the win against Dundee United at the weekend, and Rohl said: “Tuur had one more treatment this week, it was very successful.
“This weekend will be too early but it looks great that he is back maybe the first, if everything goes well, but at the latest the second game in the split.”
With six fixtures remaining, Rangers are one point behind leaders Hearts and also face Falkirk away on the last day of the season.
Rohl said: “First, big respect for Falkirk because they are playing a good season.
“Good development, the manager has done a good job with them and not just the promotions. Even now to make it into the first six in the table, this is a great achievement so far. They are still in the cup, this is nice for them as well.
“They can just win and for some teams it is nice because in some moments you can also gamble, you can gamble more offensively with nothing to lose.
“We want to win the final game before the split to have great opportunities then in the split.”
