Rangers linked Norwich City star shares delight at return after costly injury

Kenny McLean has expressed his delight at returning from injury with Norwich City.

The Cambuslang man made his comeback in the Canaries' 5-0 pre-season friendly win over Gillingham last night.

McLean has been out since sustaining a knee ligament injury in the newly-promoted Premier League's side clash against Barnsley at the end of last season.

The 29-year-old suffered medial collateral ligament damage to his right knee and he was forced to miss Scotland's EURO 2020 campaign.

It was a devastating blow for McLean and Scotland boss Steve Clarke, who is a huge admirer of the midfielder and he would have been selected in the final 26-man squad.

Norwich face Newcastle this Saturday in their final pre-season friendly before Daniel Farke's side start their league campaign at home to Liverpool on Saturday, August 14 on their return to the top-flight after winning the Championship last season.

McLean will hope to get more minutes this weekend and he has been joined at Norwich this season by Scotland teammate Billy Gilmour, who has joined on loan from Chelsea.
