Rangers manager Walter Smith has voiced his concern over Kenny Miller's injury struggles and says that he will have to monitor the 30-year-old closely from now on.
Miller featured for the Scottish champions against Sydney in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday and suffered from shin splints. He was forced off after an hour, raising concerns about his fitness.
The Scottish international striker had suffered this pain for two weeks but prior to the game believed that he had recovered. Smith now says that Miller will have to be taken close care of from now on.
"Kenny came off with the same problem that has been bothering him and we just have to watch it doesn't become a chronic one," said Smith, according to Sky Sports. "It's one of those things which is OK during the game but as soon as he stops it causes him a bit of pain.
"Hopefully we can get over the weekend's game because when we travel back he will then have a few days' recovery and he won't have to play against Clyde next midweek."
However, the 62-year-old calmed concerns on the injuries suffered by Kyle Lafferty and Lee McCulloch during the same game.
"Kyle had a little bit of cramp in his calf as you'd expect because he did a lot of running tonight," said Smith. "He'll be OK and the same should apply to Lee and he just took a kick."
