USA Beasley injured in friendly win

[Zeppo]

Dammit! He just came back from an injury, too!

Oh well, a hamstring problem shouldn't require surgery. Just waiting. But this will probably rule him out for our first qualifier.

The more surprising news would be "Beasley not injured in match".

I post it knowing full well Zeppo's addiction, hopefully now I can make him irrelevant or a reader not a poster....



Just kidding Zep

Couldn't you have waited for Zeppo to post this?! I know he would have!

Beasley injured in friendly win

Beasley has only recently returned from serious injury
Rangers pre-season preparations have been dealt a blow after winger DaMarcus Beasley was injured during the 1-0 friendly win over SC Preussen Munster.

The American, who missed six months of last season with knee ligament damage, had to be substituted late in the game.

"DaMarcus looks as though he has hamstring trouble and we're disappointed that's happened," manager Walter Smith told the club website.

Charlie Adam scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.

The midfielder also sustained a knock during the match but his injury is not thought to be serious.

"Charlie also went over his ankle but he is okay and should clear up without too many problems," added Smith.

Smith handed a second Rangers debut to striker Kenny Miller at the Preussen Stadion and the manager was pleased with the Scotland forward's contribution. MY SPORT: DEBATE

Former Celtic man Miller, who played for Rangers between 2000 and 2001, rejoined the Ibrox club from Derby earlier this summer.

"Kenny did well for the team and had two or three really good chances that he might have converted.

"He hit the post just after the break and, all in all, played very well in his first outing for the side."

Another of Smith's summer signings, Kyle Lafferty, and defender Carlos Cuellar missed the match with minor knocks but both are expected to make quick recoveries.
