Ibrox boss worried by Novo injury

Rangers striker Nacho Novo
Novo has been troubled by a shoulder injury before

Rangers manager Walter Smith fears that he could be without injured forward Nacho Novo for a prolonged period.

The 30-year-old Spaniard suffered a shoulder injury during training and will definitely miss next weekend's SPL opener against Falkirk.

"It's the second time Nacho's shoulder has come out and what happens next depends on what the specialist says on Wednesday," said Smith.

"The worst case scenario is that he could be out for a few months."

Novo was on target in Wednesday's 3-2 friendly win over Manchester City but missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth.

Kyle Lafferty is suspended for the first three games of the campaign, leaving Smith short of attacking options.
