RANGERS: BARTLEY OUT FOR SIX WEEKS

Rangers have confirmed that they expect defender Kyle Bartley to be missing from first team action until late October.

The former Sheffield United centre back suffered a groin injury in Rangers' game against Inverness recently and medics have now given him a return date of October.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Rangers' director of football Gordon Smith said, "Kyle has a hernia problem and we expect him to be out of action for between five and six weeks."

It's not yet known whether the twenty year old will require surgery.
