Kirk Broadfoot has admitted his injury nightmare had him worried he may never play again at one stage during his eight months out.

The Rangers defender has been plagued by a persistent foot injury but he is finally progressing well in his recovery and is expected to feature for the SPL giants before the turn of the year.

The 25-year-old Scotland international admitted he has endured a tough time when out and revealed there were times he thought he'd never fully recover.

"My life has always revolved around football so it's hard when the match day is not there at the end of the week," he told Rangers News.

"I was sitting thinking to myself, 'Am I ever going to get better?', and my girlfriend was trying to talk to me but the injury had put me in a bit of a mood. It is hard to take at times.

"The scans don't show up anything because the damage was to the ligament underneath the mid-foot," he added.

"But my foot was getting no support in that area and that's why I was getting shooting pains. So they had to shave away a bit of bone to repair the ligament. Then they had to screw it and hold it. It's a very rare injury.

"Even the physios and doctors here, in all the years they have been in football, haven't come across this type of injury.

"People maybe haven't thought of it as the serious injury it is, but that doesn't bother me too much. I know it's been serious and that's all that matters."
