Rangers star Kemar Roofe breaks silence with cryptic post after latest injury heartbreak
KEMAR ROOFE has taken to social media to break his silence in the wake of his latest injury worry.
The Rangers forward had to be taken off after scoring the winner against Aberdeen on Sunday in the Viaplay Cup semi-final after landing heavily on his shoulder.
It's the latest in a series of injuries the Jamaica international has suffered over the last year in particular.
He was ruled out of action for much of the run-in last season, though was able to make an appearance off the bench in the Europa League final in May.
However that was his last action for months as he missed the majority of pre-season.
Upon his return in October, Roofe once again was struck down by injury after playing just 21 minutes of football across two matches and didn't feature until being put on as a sub against Dundee United last weekend.

He's now been hit by the injury bug AGAIN after an awkward fall in the closing stages in the game against the Dons.
Boss Michael Beale fears the 28-year-old could be out for months once more, having been given feedback from his physios that the scan showed up an issue that normally takes players "weeks or months" to recover from.
Beale said: "It is a real sore one. He has had the scan and he is going to see somebody else, to get a second opinion. It is an injury he has had on the other side previously but it is not a break in terms of dislocation.
"There is a bit of a separation at the top, that just needs to take its time. For some people it is less time, for other people it is more. It is how Kemar feels in the coming days and weeks."

Following the news, it didn't go unnoticed that plenty of Rangers fans were labelling the striker as simply too injury prone.
Roofe himself certainly seems to have picked up on that vibe.
On his Instagram story, Roofe posted what looks to be an inspirational or motivational quote of sorts, often attributed to a Goi Nasu.
In white text on a plain black background, the post read: "Before you go to sleep tonight I want you to remember that an entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside your head."
