Aaron Ramsey facing career-ending period after Rangers development – pundit
Kevin Campbell has claimed Rangers midfielder Aaron Ramsey is facing a “make or break” few months in his career.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Arsenal and Everton striker said the 31-year-old “needs an injury-free run” between now and the end of the season.
Ramsey has not featured for the Light Blues since the 4-2 win at Borussia Dortmund on 17 February because of injury.
The centre-midfielder returned to Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s matchday squad on Saturday as an unused substitute in a 1-0 win over Aberdeen.
His return came after The Scottish Sun reported (3 March) that the Wales international has spent £30,000 of his own money to fly specialist physios into Glasgow in a bid to get fit as soon as possible.
When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of Ramsey’s situation, Campbell said: “This has been Rambo’s problem for a while now.
“It’s been very difficult to keep him fit. That’s always been the case with him, I don’t think anybody could question his talent though.
“To show consistency of performance you have got to be available. Let’s be honest, the availability hasn’t been there.
“People are always going to question you and say things if you are not available.
“Aaron Ramsey needs an injury-free run until the end of the season now. It’s make or break time.”
Ramsey has played just 94 minutes of football for Rangers so far.
He is currently on loan at Ibrox but the club have the option to make the deal permanent in the summer.
