Rangers star told ‘your time is up’ as fans demand transfer exit after he’s forced off against St Johnstone
RANGERS fans have called for Philippe Clement to sell Kemar Roofe after he was forced off injured against St Johnstone.
The Jamaican international, 30, was replaced by Cyriel Dessers after just 16 minutes at Ibrox despite seemingly not being involved in any sort of challenge.
The striker pulled up moments after having a shot blocked by Saints defender Andy Considine and Clement had to look to his bench.
Roofe's time at Rangers has been plagued with several injuries since joining the club.
He's missed several months of action and he could be set for another spell on the sidelines following his latest setback.
The striker signalled to the bench that he needed to come off and looked devastated as he walked off the pitch with his shirt over his head.

Rangers hero Kenny Miller told BBC Sportsound: "He's absolutely gutted there.
"It's just the latest comeback and unfortunately, his whole Rangers career has been plagued by these types of moments.
"Everyone knows the quality that he brings when he's fit and available, but we've just not seen it enough."
It could be a huge blow for Clement as he's already without Danilo for the coming months after it was revealed the Brazilian requires surgery.

Nico Raskin and Tom Lawrence are also crocked, leaving the Gers light in numbers for their clash with Celtic at the end of the month.
The news of Roofe's latest setback has sparked a furious reaction from fans on social media as they've called for Clement to finally part ways with the injury-prone star.
One fan said: "I know he scores the odd big goal, but honestly what is the point in keeping players who are forever injured."
Another commented: "Yet another injury, what is going on! I feel sorry for Roofe but we need players who are available to play most of the games. Roofe is not one of those players."
A third wrote: "Move Roofe on in January. Absolutely ridiculous."
Someone else said: "Think that’s him done. Surely off in January now. Just can’t rely on him at all."
While a fifth added: "Surely his time is up now as a Rangers player."
