Rabbi Matondo Rangers’ injury is a “bad one,” and Michael Beale is worried about the winger’s knee.
The Welshman had to be replaced after falling during the first half.
After sustaining a knee injury against Motherwell this afternoon, Michael Beale has speculated that Rabbi Matondo could spend a significant amount of time on the sidelines for Rangers.
The Welsh winger, 23, was instrumental in the game’s lone goal, which gave the Light Blues a tense 1-0 victory in front of the Ibrox crowd when his shot deflected off Cyriel Dessers. It’s the newest piece of data for Matondo, who has experienced something of a comeback in Glasgow after spending most of last season on the bench or watching from the stands.
The management of Matondo has praised him for recent efforts, including goals last weekend against Servette and St. Johnstone. Beale, though, acknowledged to the assembled journalists at full-time that it would perhaps be a severe one when he was ejected this afternoon.
When asked about the player’s health, Beale responded, “Rabbi today, we think it might be a terrible one. On the outside of his knee, he was struck.

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.
