Update on Kieran Dowell’s injury as Rangers manager Michael Beale provides a timetable for his comeback
The Englishman, who joined Gers on a free transfer in the summer, has played in six games.
The recovery schedule for injured Rangers player Kieran Dowell has been outlined by Michael Beale.
The 25-year-old, who signed a pre-contract with Norwich City and joined the Ibrox club in the summer, was sidelined for up to four weeks at the end of August with a knee injury. However, Dowell is getting closer to a full recovery, and manager Beale believes the attacking midfielder will be ready for the game against Aberdeen. Before that, Rangers will visit Motherwell in the league and play Livingston in the quarterfinals of the Viaplay Cup.
After yesterday night’s Europa League group stage victory over Real Betis, Beale informed the media, “Kieran Dowell will be back by next Wednesday or Thursday, so that is good news because he helps us in midfield and on the next line as well.”
Prior to the international break in October, both Todd Cantwell and important player Nico Raskin will be out for Rangers.
Tom Lawrence’s injury against Betis yesterday evening raised fresh injury concerns for the Govan giants, although his change was more of a preventative move after he had some time to receive treatment.

Rangers, Liverpool, West Ham, and Brighton receive a verdict from Alan Shearer on Europe.
When asked about it after matchday one, Alan Shearer predicted that Liverpool would advance further in Europe than Rangers, Brighton, and West Ham.
The distinguished former England striker supported the 2019 Champions League winners during a conversation with Gary Lineker.
The Reds are participating in the Europa League this year for the first time in a couple of years because to their last-place finish in the Premier League.
Lineker mentioned Rangers while speaking on the Rest is Football Podcast, which featured a number of English teams. Who will advance the furthest in the Europa League, Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham, or perhaps Rangers? he posed to Alan Shearer.
You’d have to fancy Liverpool, wouldn’t you?,” Shearer retorted.
They “didn’t play particularly well; they can’t keep doing that (having to come from behind) because eventually, that will bite them.” Other than Newcastle, I believe they have been able to recover with the teams they have been down against.
With stronger pushback, they won’t be able to accomplish that. They do need to work on it, but I believe they will do well in the tournament given their current team.
Good enough.
There is no denying who the better team is based just on the stats, since Liverpool hammered Rangers in the Champions League last year.
The Premier League, where the Reds also compete, offers a totally different playing field than the SPFL.
In comparison to the Premier League, Scotland’s broadcasting earnings are minuscule.
So, in terms of player acquisition, Gers’ whole transfer budget might be equal to what Liverpool would spend on bringing in just one new player.
Rangers could advance further than Liverpool in the knockout stages, albeit the luck of the draw is a significant impact in these stages.
Michael Beale and company will only focus on winning one game at a time for the time being.
