Couldn’t agree more! Add in Alfie to that list and maybe even Steven Davis and we could have won 4 in a row, a European final and a few more cups! But then where would we have been as a club had Mols not got injured in 99? Just seems we are desperately unlucky with injuries as a whole.There's an alternative universe out there where Roofe, Helander, Hagi, Lawrence and Jack don't pick up career ruining injuries and we're on for four in a row this season. It's been torture having them all permanently on the sidelines while we've toiled on the park. It's a shame but it'll be a relief to have at least three of them off the books.
Recent years have been a nightmare. Even the likes of Dorrans and Murphy got hobbled before being able to make a contribution. Waghorn never really bounced back from the injury at Rugby Park either.Couldn’t agree more!

Tbf Aribo played there instead and scoredI’ll never forgive him for leading fans on that he was fit for Seville, if only we had a striker willing to play a European final, fit or not.
He made a comment in the last press conference when asked about what he'd learned from this season, regarding not waiting until the end of this season to take action on the injury situation. It sounded a lot like there is some deep unhappiness with the medical/physio staff at the club.Recent years have been a nightmare.

I really hope Clement is right when he says he's identified the issues with injuries. Solve that problem and we're halfway there in terms of the league.
Good question.Why wouldn’t he still be at the training ground until after the cup final?
I’ll be forever grateful for aribo, that feeling was unbelievable when that goal went it.Tbf Aribo played there instead and scored
That room is at Ibrox.Why wouldn’t he still be at the training ground until after the cup final?

It’s not just the club that need looked at - whether it’s medical staff, training, the wrong type of players etc - we also need to ask serious questions about the standard of refereeing. How many of these injuries have been the result of a shocking tackle that isn’t even shown a red card! Lundstrams horrific tackle on Saturday was a definite red but I said to my mates at the time we get a foul like that on us at least once a game and rarely is it even a yellow!Recent years have been a nightmare.

No doubt he is injured after playing last night!!!Good question.
It was last night, he won’t be back to Ibrox.Why wouldn’t he still be at the training ground until after the cup final?
I thought it was just in my mind that it looked like he was pulling up with an injury towards the end of the game. Wouldn’t surprise me then if he has and would be out for a few weeks. That said I’d be very surprised, injured or not, if he wasn’t going to be at Hampden to celebrate a Scottish cup win after being at the club so long!he has just posted a video from a flight, looking out the window as it is taking off. He may be getting a day off but the cynic in me suggests he is offski for good
Am not for one minute suggesting that Roofe has been using 'injuries' as an excuse, but the interview with Wayne Rooney after the Man Utd match the other night was interesting, when he remarked that too many players will use an injury no matter how mild to pull out of games.
Whereas he would take part in games with a niggle regardless, because he just loved playing football.
One last tour of the medical room, for old times sake.Where would he be going with a cup final in ten days?
This exactly! He didn’t choose to be injury prone, and even if the crazy rumours on here that half the injuries are “in his head” were somehow true then we can’t blame a guy for mental health problems (I’ve always thought that rumour was utter nonsense but it’s raised every time he’s out!). As I said earlier, a great “what if” player who I will always think fondly of. But he absolutely should be leaving so I’m glad we didn’t offer him a new contract.Don't understand people saying how big a waste of money he has been.
What do you think his Braga and Betis goals made the club? Cup semi final winner v sheep etc.
Not to mention huge role in 55.
He's repaid his transfer fee with that Betis winner alone pretty much.
Wish him well. He didn't like being injured, it's plagued him his entire career.
No he wasn't. If you look at the big goals he contributed, he made us allot more than he cost us.Pound for pound a terrible signing
Although you’ve let everyone know. Well done.If you’ve not got anything nice to say it’s best to say nothing. I’ll say nothing
What were the hints mate I can't recall themIt happens at every club, but whenever it was suggested Roofe was at it on here (following hints from two of his managers by the way) the reaction from some posters was sheer outrage at the very suggestion that a player would do this
Surely we will keep him around just in case we need him for the Cup Final? If Dessers picks up a knock we are in serious trouble up frontPosted on his Instagram story of him on a flight this afternoon.
Possibly been told that's him finished?
They've never not been rare ffs. Made up nonsense.Would’ve been happy for him to stay on a pay as you play deal but they are rare these days, would've been madness to keep him on a standard deal, all the best to him and thanks for some great memories
Exactly, an injury free Roofe wouldn't have been a Rangers player, the same thing was said on here by a few folk when we first signed him.I remember asking a Leeds fan perspective on him.
“Brilliant player when he’s fit”.
Therein lies the reason we were able to sign him and take a punt on his fitness as a gamble, because he would never have been near us otherwise.
