Eustace suffers injury setback

Rangers manager Mark Warburton
has confirmed John Eustace, who has been on trial at Murray
Park for over six weeks, has suffered
a ‘setback’ in training and that Rangers may have done ‘too much’ with the
former Derby
anchor.

Speaking about the on-going saga,
while Warburton still expressed hope of a deal for the 35-year old, he conceded
that fitness is proving to be a concern for the midfielder and that while an
agreement could still be reached with him, his injury troubles clearly are not
fully behind him.

It is this site’s understanding
that Eustace has had more than one setback, and that while his performances at Murray Park
have been impressive, he has been beset by small niggling injuries which slow
progress down considerably.

While the intense training he had
went well in a short space of time with the physios, his body has not had the resilience
that it was hoped it would, and he has broken down since then more than once,
forcing Warburton to call on his experience and use him in a coaching capacity
more than would have been expected.

Time will tell if Eustace can get
over his injury concerns and get fit enough to earn a contract at Ibrox.
