SPL: Reyna to play on
Rangers midfielder Claudio Reyna has agreed to play through the pain barrier until a cure can be found for the injury that has dogged his season.
The American has established himself as one of his side’s most influential performers, especially after forming a central-midfield partnership with captain Barry Ferguson.
But a recurring groin problem forced him off at half-time on Sunday in his side’s 2-0 victory at bottom club St Johnstone.
It had been the first time Reyna had been able to start three games in a row this season but his withdrawal sparked fresh fears he would be sidelined again.
But manager Dick Advocaat confirmed Reyna, who has missed 10 of the 18 games so far this season, was still on course to play at third-place Livingston on Saturday evening.
He said: ‘‘Reyna is still feeling some pain in his groin. He has seen specialists all over the world but the problem is not going away.
‘‘At the moment he is playing through it but hopefully we can find a solution because it is not ideal for him.’’
