Rangers director Steven Gerrard have to wait to learn Ryan Kent will probably likely be out of action after he was hurt in their 3-1 win at home to Livingston on Saturday.
Kent, who combined the Gers from Liverpool on transfer deadline day in a deal worth up to #7.5m, impressed while on loan at Ibrox last season and has been called PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.
But he continued 41 minutes to be replaced.
The 22-year-old appears set to miss Thursday’s Europa League match with Feyenoord, as well as the Scottish Premiership match with St Johnstone around September 22.
Kent will be assessed at the week plus Gerrard confessed his absence is going to be a discount.
“He has a hamstring [difficulty ] and we will look at this in the coming times and see how terrible it is,” Gerrard said when they arrived from an goal-down to conquer Livingston.
“Hopefully it’s not as bad, hopefully it’s OK and it isn’t a really serious one. We’ll know in a couple of days.
“It’s a setback for us we needed it to be all about Ryan today but it was not to be. But we’ve got enough bodies and enough talent to deal without him”
Gerrard was delighted with the contribution made by his own replacement despite dropping Kent through trauma.
“The plan was to for Ryan to head 60 and Brandon to proceed 30, and I put it on all my match-winners in half-time and stated’go-on – move and win the football game’, he told the Rangers website.
“I thought Brandon did quite well and took his goal really well, and I would do his optimism good. He will build that.”
