Rangers midfielder Connor Barron will be out of action for eight to 12 weeks due to a knee injury sustained in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Aberdeen, according to manager Danny Röhl. This is a significant setback for the team, as Barron has been an integral part of their midfield unit.
In addition to Barron's absence, defender Dujon Sterling will also miss the trip to Aberdeen due to a hamstring injury. However, in a positive twist, Sterling could return for Rangers' upcoming game against Dundee later this month.
Röhl expressed his concern about Barron's injury, stating that it looks like an "eight to 12-week" layoff period. He acknowledged that such injuries are common, but emphasized the frustration of losing key players at critical times. The manager also discussed Sterling's arrest following a one-vehicle crash in Glasgow on Saturday, where he was charged with road traffic offenses involving drink driving.
Röhl took this opportunity to address the incident and expressed his disappointment and concern for Sterling, who has since shown remorse and apologized. The club is now focused on assessing how to move forward and preparing for their next match against Dundee.

️! they really need barron in the midfield rn 
8-12 weeks is a long layoff period 2 b out...Sterling's injury is a bonus tho 
at least hes gonna be back soon. gotta give sterling credit tho, hes taken responsibility 4 his actions & apologized 
hope he can bounce back from this 
. But on a more serious note, Dujon Sterling's arrest is a big concern... I mean, we've all been there, but it's still a serious offense and I hope he takes this time to reflect on his actions 
. The fact that he apologized shows some good sense, though! Fingers crossed he can be back on the field soon 
that they're losing two key players at the same time, especially with a big game coming up against Dundee. Barron's absence is gonna be huge 
. This is definitely a tough road ahead for Rangers, but they'll have to bounce back from this 
.
it's just one of those bad days where injuries and controversy pile up 
i hope röhl can get his team back on track soon 
they've got some tough games coming up but with a strong squad, they should be able to bounce back 
barron's injury is like the worst timing ever, they're already struggling and now they've lost 2 key players. i feel for the lads trying to make a comeback from the suspension too, especially with sterling getting his own drama on top of that 
he's been riding barron hard all season and this is just cruel luck. still gotta give credit to the team for bouncing back 2-0 against aberdeen, that's some serious spirit 
at least sterling should be good to go in a couple of weeks, that's some silver lining 
and gotta feel bad for sterling getting in trouble, hopefully he learns from it 
, which could be a huge relief 
. Anyway, time for Rangers to show their strength and resilience 
hope he recovers fast so they can get him back in the pitch, but meanwhile, i feel for the team having to deal with this loss again 
Röhl's got his work cut out for him if he wants to keep this team competitive. And what's with the club not being more transparent about Sterling's arrest? I'm all for a second chance, but some explanation would've been nice 
.
and sterling's hamstring issue isn't helping either 
I mean, it's not the end of the world... or is it? 
Rangers need him back ASAP or they'll be in trouble. But on the other hand, at least Sterling won't miss the Dundee game and can get some playing time, which is a plus! 
they need barron's midfield magic ASAP 
anyway i think sterling getting charged with drink driving is a bummer, but glad he apologized 
12 points for dundee though, gonna be an easy win 
anyway, gotta be fair to the club they're already talkin bout how to move forward 
röhl seems like a good manager, but this season is already looking sketchy 
can they recover from these setbacks and make a push for the top? 
. The worst part is that Barron was one of their key players 
. The club needs to focus on preparing for Dundee and hope their injured players come back strong
