Jack looks forward to next term

RANGERS midfielder Ryan Jack is on course to be fully fit for the beginning of next season after declaring his recent surgery a success. The 29-year-old underwent an operation to fix a persistent calf problem on Wednesday morning. Jack has not played since February 21 and will miss Scotland’s European Championship campaign, a huge blow after the pivotal role he played in the play-off victory over Serbia in Belgrade last year. But the former Aberdeen player is confident of being able to hit the ground running in time for the start of next term and is already looking ahead to defending Rangers’ Premiership title. He wrote on Instagram: ‘Just letting everyone know I had a successful operation yesterday morning and I’m now on the road to recovery. ‘Can’t wait to be back for the start of next season and getting back doing what I love. Thanks to everyone for the messages it’s much appreciated. All focus now is on 56!’
