Southend 0-0 Salford: Nile Ranger's return cut short in drab draw
Saturday 27 February 2021 18:31, UK
Nile Ranger's return to action lasted just 11 minutes during Southend's drab 0-0 draw with Salford at Roots Hall.
The controversial striker - who had not played professionally since January 2018 - came on as a second-half substitute for the Shrimpers.
But the forward soon had to make way with what seemed to be a groin problem.
Southend had the better of the first half with Emile Acquah having a well struck left-footed shot smartly saved by Vaclav Hladky before the striker sent a header from close range straight at the keeper.
After the break, Nathan Ferguson saw a deflected 20-yard shot tipped wide of the right post by Hladky before Salford began to get into the game.
