Rangers Winger Yokota Set for Groin Surgery

Daisuke Yokota and Rangers
9 September 2026

Rangers winger Daisuke Yokota will undergo surgery after suffering what the club described as a significant groin injury. The setback comes only weeks after his arrival and adds another attacking absence as Rangers prepare for two important matches against Celtic.

Rangers are already without long-term injured forwards Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland, increasing pressure on Derek McInnes’ attacking options. Yokota’s surgery was referenced after the 1-0 win over St Mirren, with no return timetable provided in the supplied report.
