Gerrard confirming in his post-match interview on RTV that heart issue has been found.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Gerrard saying something flagged up in his ECG and there's a heart concern. Very concerning.

 

[rangersno.1]

Hope the young man is okay

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Yeah, concerning news.

Wish the boy all the best.

 

[TN8]

Wtf!? Let's hope not!

 

[a_weir]

Well damn. All the best to him.

Good that he’s got Goldson to bend the ear of.

 

[Blue Lew]

Quite a shock, hope he’s ok.

 

[imager]

good news that it was picked up early, happens quite a bit so hopefully its not too serious and the lad comes through it quickly.

 

[Clay Davis]

That doesn’t sound good although good that the medical staff were able to find it. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it and solve the issue.

 

[Ozgers182]

Oh no poor lad.

 

[AmsterdamBear]

Very happy that it’s been caught before it’s too late.

Here’s hoping everything turns out well for the lad.

 

[Topps]

That doesnt sound good.

 

[Ray Von]

A concern indeed. Just glad it's been flagged up early and he can hopefully recover and play again.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Awful news, but thank god it was something that we picked up on. Football is irrelevant when it comes to the young man's health.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

That doesnt sound good.

when does it ever?!

 

[SuperGers07]

Hopefully can be sorted like Goldson was

 

[Helander]

It’s very positive that it was caught before it became a serious risk, he’ll be alright.

 

[Vony Tidmar]

Wish the young man a speedy recovery.

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

That’s a real shame for the boy.

Perhaps this was behind his disappearance at Wycombe last season also? Was all kept very hush at the time but I’m glad we have come out and confirmed why we haven’t seen him.

 

[bob1873]

How was that not picked up in his medical? Scary he passed a medical and had they not done a pre season check it might not have been found with potentially horrible outcome. Sincerely hope the lad is fine.

 

[GR6Ger]

It's a blow from a footballing perspective but good news that it's been caught now.

Would these tests not be carried out during his medical?

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Hope all is well with the lad. Great that its been picked up and he can get whatever treatment is required.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Gutted for him. Stay healthy Ofoborh, that’s all that matters here.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Hope the lad makes full recovery

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

How was that not picked up in his medical? Scary he passed a medical and had they not done a pre season check it might not have been found with potentially horrible outcome. Sincerely hope the lad is fine.

Maybe it wasnt an issue at his medical? These things can happen due to a virus etc.

 

[gwrfc72]

Gutted for him. Hopefully nothing serious.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

How was that not picked up in his medical? Scary he passed a medical and had they not done a pre season check it might not have been found with potentially horrible outcome. Sincerely hope the lad is fine.

Depends what it is. An ECG is only going to pick up issues with heart rhythm and they are sometimes intermittent. Standard cardiac investigations when something like this is suspected would usually see a patient wearing a digital monitor for, at points, up to a week to try and catch the arrhythmia.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

That's awful for the lad. Hopefully a minor issue, given the signing medical was fine, but that has to be a real worry for him and his family. In truth, that's far more important than anything to do with football. Hope this turns out to be something that allows him to continue his career but, more importantly, to get on and lead a full and normal life.

 

[bud_light]

Let's be grateful it has been detected

 

[Helander]

It's a blow from a footballing perspective but good news that it's been caught now.

Would these tests not be carried out during his medical?

Won’t always come up, it was probably during the bleep tests

 

[Clubdeckg]

Hopefully nothing to serious for the young man

 

[imvaison]

Hope it’s nothing serious and he’s back with us very soon. Keep positive young man

 

[cooperman]

at least he has goldson to talk to about going through this kind of thing

 

[Corkinator]

Wow! Hopefully he’s ok and can continue his playing career

 

[GeckoBear29]

How was that not picked up in his medical? Scary he passed a medical and had they not done a pre season check it might not have been found with potentially horrible outcome. Sincerely hope the lad is fine.

 

[Gramps1]

It's a blow from a footballing perspective but good news that it's been caught now.

Would these tests not be carried out during his medical?

Surely.
Or would Bournemouth not know about it?

 

[Coplandbear]

Gutted let's hope he's ok best thing the issue has been found quickly.

 

[Odin1972]

How was that not picked up in his medical? Scary he passed a medical and had they not done a pre season check it might not have been found with potentially horrible outcome. Sincerely hope the lad is fine.

It’s probably an arrhythmia that wasn’t occurring when he had his medical ecg. The suggestion that this Rangers organisation wouldn’t operate to best practice standards with medicals is ridiculous.

 

[Dizzel1873]

Sad news hopefully he makes a full recovery.

 

[Post tenebras Lux]

Am I right in saying this is something that will need to be monitored and will not have a bearing on his career unless something happens?
It is something a lot of people have and live with, right?

 

[jprfc]

Shocked to hear that...hopefully the big man makes a full recovery

 

[vinnie]

Gutted for the boy. But need to look at the positives.

A club like ours has the best staff and the best equipment with access to the best specialists.

It’s been picked up early.

He has Goldson to talk to whose proved you can come back from this.

 

[Godrup99]

good news that it was picked up early, happens quite a bit so hopefully its not too serious and the lad comes through it quickly.

That's my thoughts too, it's good that it's been found so early and the lad can be kept safe

 

[Prestwick_ Bear]

I'm glad that our great medical staff have seen this quickly and that he gets the best treatment possible, might be minor ( I really hope so ) might not be but all that matters is he is in good hands.

 

[CaptainObjective]

That is a real disappointment. At least they picked it up and he can get sorted out. Best wishes to the lad.

 

[El Jock Grande Sabia]

Am I right in saying this is something that will need to be monitored and will not have a bearing on his career unless something happens?
It is something a lot of people have and live with, right?

It all depends on what exactly has been found on his ecg. Early detection certainly helps, but no way of knowing how serious or otherwise or how treatable or otherwise it is until he gets the proper diagnosis.

 

[fmp]

An ECG irregularity can be caused by lots of different problems including dehydration. Hopefully it is nothing serious.

 

[borderbluenose]

Could be simple Right Bundle Branch Block which maybe abnormal variant to something much more serious

 

[SuperGers07]

Took Scott Allan about 4 months last season to get back in the game after it was flagged up for him

 

[Orangie]

Hope the boy is ok, football is secondary to the boys health

The Good news is it has been found
