Scottish football has witnessed its fair share of controversies over the years — from refereeing disasters to transfer sagas and dressing-room leaks. But few stories have shocked Rangers fans quite like this one.
Just days before a crucial Premiership clash against St. Mirren, Rangers FC have been hit with an explosive internal storm after allegations emerged that one of their most talked-about goal scorers deliberately exaggerated — or even completely fabricated — an injury. The reason? Not a medical setback. Not tactical rotation. Not disciplinary action.
According to growing whispers around Ibrox, the 21-year-old Rangers player allegedly made himself unavailable despite being fully fit… so he could propose to his girlfriend.
Yes, you read that correctly.
And now, the fallout is threatening to rock the club at a sensitive moment in their season.
A SUDDEN ABSENCE THAT RAISED EYEBROWS
The first red flags appeared when Rangers released their squad update ahead of the St. Mirren fixture. Among the names missing was the young attacker — a player who had recently found the back of the net and was beginning to regain the trust of supporters.
Fans immediately questioned the decision.
There had been no visible injury during the previous match.
No moment where he pulled up holding his hamstring.
No clash that suggested a knock serious enough to rule him out.
Even more confusing, training-ground sources claimed the player had been moving freely, participating in drills, and showing no signs of discomfort earlier in the week.
So why was he suddenly unavailable?
“HE IS FIT TO PLAY” — INSIDERS SPEAK OUT
It didn’t take long before murmurs from inside the club began to leak.
According to multiple insiders, the 21-year-old Rangers player was medically cleared and deemed fit enough to be involved in the St. Mirren clash. Some went as far as saying he had passed all physical checks with no issues flagged by the medical team.
One source allegedly close to the situation revealed:
“There was no injury that should keep him out. If this was a must-win final, he’d be playing.”
That statement alone ignited outrage among supporters.
But what truly sent shockwaves through the Rangers fanbase was what came next.
THE PROPOSAL THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
As speculation grew, the real reason behind the absence began to surface — and it left fans stunned.
The 21-year-old Rangers player was reportedly planning a private and carefully arranged marriage proposal to his long-term girlfriend. The timing, according to sources, clashed directly with match preparations.
Rather than postponing the personal moment or seeking approval in advance, the player allegedly used an injury excuse to make himself unavailable.
While love stories are usually celebrated, this one has sparked fury — because of what was at stake.
RANGERS VS ST. MIRREN — NOT JUST ANOTHER MATCH
This wasn’t a dead rubber.
The St. Mirren clash was a key fixture in Rangers’ calendar — a game where rotation was limited and intensity was expected to be high. Every available player mattered, especially one who had recently contributed with goals.
Supporters were already anxious about consistency, squad depth, and mentality.
Learning that a 21-year-old Rangers player may have chosen a personal milestone over club duty has cut deep.
For many fans, it represents a worrying attitude problem.
FANS REACT: “THIS IS NOT A HOLIDAY CAMP”
Social media exploded as soon as the story gained traction.
Some supporters expressed disbelief:
“You don’t fake injuries at Rangers. This isn’t a joke club.”
“Propose in the summer. Not during a title run.”
“If this is true, drop him immediately.”
Others took a more balanced approach, arguing that players are human beings with lives beyond football. But even those voices admitted the timing could not have been worse.
One viral comment summed it up perfectly:
“Love is beautiful. But Rangers comes first when you wear that badge.”
THE DRESSING ROOM TENSION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
Perhaps the most damaging part of the saga isn’t the missed match — it’s the potential impact inside the dressing room.
Senior players are said to be unimpressed.
Teammates who are carrying knocks, playing through pain, and sacrificing personal time for the club reportedly see the situation as a betrayal of trust.
When one player is perceived to be bending the rules, it creates resentment.
And in a club like Rangers — where unity and discipline are non-negotiable — that resentment can spread fast.
THE MANAGER’S DILEMMA
Publicly, Rangers have remained tight-lipped.
No official statement has addressed the rumours directly. The absence has been described in generic terms, and the club has tried to move on quickly.
Privately, however, the manager now faces a serious decision.
Does he:
Drop the player to send a message?
Reinstate him quietly to avoid escalation?
Or discipline him internally to protect squad harmony?
Whatever the choice, it will be watched closely.
Because how Rangers handle this situation could define standards for the rest of the season.
FROM HERO TO HEADACHE IN A MATTER OF DAYS
Just weeks ago, the 21-year-old Rangers player was being praised for his movement, energy, and timely goal contributions. Supporters were starting to believe he could play a bigger role going forward.
Now, his reputation has taken a massive hit.
In football, perception matters.
And right now, the perception is that he placed personal priorities above club responsibility — something Rangers fans have never tolerated lightly.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR HIS FUTURE AT IBROX
Whether the allegations are fully accurate or not, damage has already been done.
Trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.
If the manager decides to make an example of the situation, the 21-year-old Rangers player could find himself:
Benched for upcoming matches
Frozen out of key fixtures
Or quietly pushed down the pecking order
At a club where competition is fierce and patience is thin, even one misstep can change everything.
LOVE VS LOYALTY — A DEBATE THAT WON’T END SOON
This story has opened up a wider debate in Scottish football.
How much personal freedom should players have during the season?
Where does professionalism begin and end?
And should a club of Rangers’ stature ever tolerate such behavior?
There are no easy answers.
But one thing is clear — Rangers fans expect total commitment. Especially from young players still trying to cement their place.
FINAL WORD: A MOMENT THAT MAY DEFINE A CAREER
For the 21-year-old Rangers player, what was meant to be one of the happiest moments of his life has turned into a storm of criticism, suspicion, and backlash.
Whether the injury was exaggerated or misunderstood, whether permission was sought or not — the optics are damaging.
At Rangers FC, every action is judged. Every decision is magnified.
And now, as the team moves on without him against St. Mirren, one question hangs heavily in the air:
