Rangers defender Tuur Rommens has received positive news following a follow-up back scan, paving the way for his return to first-team action. The Belgian left-back had been sidelined after suffering a distressing back issue earlier in the campaign, but medical assessments have now cleared him to step up his recovery program. The news provides a major boost for the management team, who have had to contend with several key absences during a demanding period of the season.
Rommens is now nearing a return to full first-team training as he builds up his match fitness alongside the medical staff. While the midweek clash against St Mirren comes too soon for his inclusion, the coaching staff are targeting a potential return for the second Celtic match next week. With back-to-back derby fixtures on the horizon, having another natural option available in defense could prove crucial for squad rotation and tactical flexibility.
Since arriving at Ibrox from Belgian outfit Westerlo, Rommens has shown glimpses of the composure and quality that made him a sought-after talent. His ability to contribute both defensively and in transition down the left flank offers Rangers valuable width and tactical depth. Reintegrating him into full sessions over the coming days will be essential to ensuring he is ready for the intensity of high-stakes domestic action.
The timing of his recovery is particularly welcome given the current demands on the squad. As Rangers navigate crucial domestic fixtures across both the league and cup competitions, the return of experienced first-team players provides vital support to the manager’s tactical plans. Rommens’ progress will be monitored closely during training sessions this week to confirm his readiness for the upcoming derby action.
