Lawrence Shankland and Rangers
8 September 2026
Rangers are without striker Lawrence Shankland for up to four months, according to a related BBC report referenced in the supplied Premiership preview. His absence lands just as the forward had found his scoring form during Rangers’ recent improvement.
The preview says Shankland’s injury could force new striker Kevin Kelsy into a larger role sooner than planned. Rangers host St Mirren before facing Celtic in the League Cup, leaving Derek McInnes with an immediate attacking adjustment to make.
