Rangers have been dealt an injury blow as Tom Lawrence was forced off against Lyon.

The midfielder, 30, had scored in the Europa League contest but had to be withdrawn at half-time.

TNT Sports commentator Rory Hamilton stated an ankle injury was the reason for Lawrence being subbed off at the break.

Lawrence did appear to have an issue with his ankle after firing home for Rangers as he was caught by Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri.

Lawrence was first to the rebound after Cyriel Dessers poked at goal with Perri throwing himself at the ball but only landing on the Ibrox midfielder instead of saving the shot.

Kieran Dowell was brought on as Lawrence's replacement at half time.
