Mark Warburton has backed Niko Kranjcar to return fitter and stronger after surgeons reported the Rangers playmakers knee surgery had been a success.The Croatia international midfielder ruptured his cruciate ligament last month in a freak training ground accident and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.Rangers boss Warburton accepts the 32-year-old faces a lengthy rehabilitation period, but is hopeful Kranjcar will make a full recovery. The Englishman told Rangers website: Nikos operation went well, the stitches came out on Monday, which he is pleased about and the inflammation is down.He is going through the normal four weeks [recovery period] and then after four weeks he will revisit the surgeon and hopefully get the green light to push on from there.It is a really structured week-by-week programme, there is no cutting corners and unfortunately it is a very common injury in football now but the programme is set. Kranjcar was injured in a training ground accident It is a week-by-week programme and you cant be doing well at four weeks and jump ahead to eight, it doesnt work that way, you have to go step after step.He is in great hands and his attitude is first class and we have no doubt he will return back fitter and stronger than ever.Warburton has also been left frustrated after seeing promising midfielder Jordan Rossiter suffer another a setback in his fight for fitness.The 19-year-old Liverpudlian is nursing a calf injury, having not played since late August when he hobbled off against Kilmarnock. Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man U v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first 6 months half price Jordan is getting there, he had a small setback and there is a lot of work being done with him, said Warburton.Jordan is a boy who just wants to play football. His ability is more than evident to anyone who has seen him play this season.The frustration is obvious, but hes working hard and these things happen, these frustrations come with the game.Jordan is very frustrated at the moment, but there is no doubt his quality is there and well see it sooner rather than later Im sure. Rangers midfielder Jordan Rossiter is still out of action with a calf problem Meanwhile, Warburton has sent first-teamers Philippe Senderos, Danny Wilson, Matt Crooks, Martyn Waghorn and Barrie McKay north with the Light Blues U20s side for Tuesdays development league clash with Ross County.Centre-backs Senderos and Wilson are making their way back from injury and Warburton wants the rest of the group to pick up some valuable action ahead of Saturdays Ibrox clash with Dundee.Warburton said: We had a decent session on Monday and four or five of the boys will be involved in the U20s game on Tuesday at Ross County.That is good for them and means they can get some pitch time after the break, that has worked out well for us and they have a good playing surface up there. Philippe Senderos will be in action for the U20 side on Tuesday We will probably look to involve Philippe and Danny from a defensive point of view, Matt Crooks and Barrie McKay will get some pitch time and Waggy will play too.Waggy, all credit to him, was keen to play in the last 20s game, but it was an artificial surface and we were hesitant.They are putting four or five first-teamers out as well, so hopefully it will be a good test and they will look forward to that.We were down to two centre-halves and all credit to the medical and performance guys for working so hard and to the boys for putting the effort in.They boys are back and training with us and they need minutes now, at the moment Clint and Rob have the jerseys but it is about being ready when your chance comes along.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!Also See:ONeill rules out ScotlandBarton leaves RangersUnited face QueensGet a ￡10 free bet!Jack McCloskey Jersey Signed . 31, the CFL club announced Monday.

Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. Fake NBA Jerseys . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Coaches and well-trained players will tell you that every win is worth the same.Theyre wrong.No better examples can be found than the way Seattle, Dallas and Denver won on Sunday. Those victories are the kind that can define a season, catapult you to special things.Most impressive was the Seahawks 31-24 win at Foxborough, a place visitors rarely leave with smiles on their faces. Particularly after settling for three field goals, missing an extra point kick and a dubious 2-point conversion attempt.But in one of the most bone-rattling games imaginable -- look for Earl Thomas hit on Rob Gronkowski for proof -- Seattle re-established its credentials as an opponent to be reckoned with. The Seahawks often come on in the second half of the schedule, and the way they punished the Patriots and also handled the hits they were given in return bodes very well for Pete Carrolls club.It says exactly what our creed is: We fight until we cant fight no more, said safety Kam Chancellor, whose tight coverage on Gronkowski resulted in an incompletion from the Seattle 1 to end New Englands chances. No matter what the circumstances are, we never look back. We keep pushing forward and we keep fighting.Seattle (6-2-1) won on Russell Wilsons arm (348 yards, 124.6 passer rating), Doug Baldwins mitts (three TD catches) and that fierce defense. It won even though Wilson remains almost stationary (for him) in the pocket because of bothersome leg injuries.Its been a tougher year in the sense of obviously, the injuries, and havent faced that (limitation) before, Wilson said. But there was no way I was going to let that stop me. And the mentality was to do whatever I could to play the games, and get ready, And just continue to battle, and continue to have that mulish approach, and continue to stay steadfast.Denver, like Seattle, has had plenty of success recently, albeit with a certain No. 18 at quarterback. It is now 7-3 thanks greatly to its still-staunch defense.And, of course, to a special teams play for the ages.Justin Simmons leaped over the offensive line and blocked a potential go-ahead extra-point kick by Wil Lutz. Will Parks grabbed the loose ball, retturning it 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion with 1:28 left.dddddddddddd The defensive 2-point play was only added to the rules prior to the 2015 season, and this was the first time the winning points came on such a play.Ive never had an ending like that, especially on special teams, DeMarcus Ware said, and hes been in the NFL for nearly 12 seasons. It was just big, a big victory. I mean usually a game ends from the defense because of a forced fumble or interception or something like that. But seeing it happen from special teams, you never see that.The effect it could have, particularly with two rookies combining for such a brilliant and rare play, is immeasurable.The significance of an eight-game winning streak powered by two other kids -- quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott -- is that Dallas is thinking big. After its 35-30 comeback sizzler in Pittsburgh, the Cowboys have earned the right to think as big as, well, Big D itself.Asked if hes been around a team where two rookies have had such a quick impact, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones replied, Not two that are so in sync to where theyre feeding off each other and the team feeding off them. I havent seen that.What the world saw at Heinz Field was the kind of determination and resilience that can lead to championships. Every time the more-veteran Steelers delivered a haymaker -- including a touchdown off a fake spike by Ben Roethlisberger -- Dallas responded.Elliott burst through a defense he said parted like the Red Sea and streaked to the end zone for a 32-yard touchdown to win it with 9 seconds remaining, and it might have been the most impressive act the fourth overall draft pick has delivered. And boy has he been delivering all year for a team that hasnt been a true championship contender for decades.If the Broncos, Cowboys or Seahawks find their way to the Super Bowl, they surely can point to Week 10 as a catalyst.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
