If injuries weren’t such a terrible setback to his career, Rangers would be fortunate to have Kemar Roofe, who is a great football player and a natural striker.
Kemar Roofe is a gifted football player and a natural scorer; Rangers would be fortunate to have him if injuries weren’t such a severe setback to his career.
Kemar Roofe is a risk taken by the Rangers and Michael Beale.
Kemar Roofe was acquired by Rangers for a reputed £4.5 million from Anderlecht in 2020, and the striker went on to become Steven Gerrard’s best league scorer as the team won 55.
But Kemar Roofe has missed so many games since then that it really surprises people to see him wearing a Rangers jersey.
The Livingston injury concerns demonstrate how risky it is to bet on Roofe’s fitness for the duration of a season. This may seem harsh on the player, but it is not meant to be.
And that’s exactly what Rangers and Michael Beale have done going into the new season, with the manager at Ibrox adamant that Kemar Roofe would be a significant player for the club this season.
Fearful Ibrox supporters may not have believed the hype back then, and they have little reason to do so right now as they await the results of that groin injury and a devasting string of injuries.
But as Kemar Roofe’s dismal run of injury luck continues, Michael Beale, whose summer recruits aren’t quite clicking at the top end of the game, must hope his risk pays off.
