Scottish Football: Setback for Stevens
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.GARY STEVENS discovered yesterday that the season he has spent on the sidelines through injury is to continue for at least another month. Stevens is now suffering from a stress fracture of the knee.
The England full-back had missed only two League games in the previous three seasons, but he was ruled out for the first 24 games of the current campaign with another stress fracture - of the foot. The latest reverse will keep the 29- year-old out of action throughout the hectic festive period.
'It's terrible,' Walter Smith, the Ibrox manager, said. 'I really feel for Gary.' Rangers meet Falkirk at Brockville Park today without the suspended Ian Ferguson, while Trevor Steven is doubtful with a calf injury. Richard Gough, another long-term absentee, plays for the reserves.
