Rangers: Gers gifted Kemar Roofe ‘boost’
Glasgow Rangers have now been gifted a big ‘boost’ before the UEFA Europa League final tonight.
The Lowdown: Day has arrived
The day has finally arrived for the Ibrox faithful and its supporters, as they play Bundesliga side Frankfurt for the chance to win the Europa League in what would be a momentous achievement.
As well as lifting a major piece of silverware, winning it would also mean UEFA Champions League qualification for the Teddy Bears next season, in pot one of the draw for the group stages no less.
The Latest: Roofe ‘boost’
Speaking to the media in his pre-game press conference before the match, Giovanni van Bronckhorst has revealed that Kemar Roofe will now be ‘available‘ after a period out through injury.
Should Rangers start Roofe?
Yes
No
The Dutch manager added that he is ready to play if called upon, in what is a ‘boost‘ for him and his team.
The Verdict: Big
It certainly is a big boost for the Light Blues to be able to call upon Roofe for the final after his injury setback.
His 16 goals in total over all competitions so far this season is only bettered by the injured Alfredo Morelos and captain James Tavernier, so having that natural threat in front of goal could well giver the Gers the edge, even if it’s only a matter of playing the final 20 minutes and/or extra time.
With Morelos out, they would ideally want a natural striker to lead the line, and Roofe has already shown on many occasions this term that he can do it with success.
