The Kilmarnock FC midfielder collapsed after a collision with Ross County's Ivan Sproule in the 35th minute, and was subsequently stretchered off the pitch and rushed to a nearby hospital.
Kilmarnock went on to record their first win of the season as Scottish international striker Kris Boyd and Jackson Irvine scored in either half to seal the win for the hosts.
After enduring torrid spells at Sporting Lisbon, PSV Eindhoven and Celtic, Ibrahim's career has taken an upward trajectory since joining the modest club, as has featured in all the clubs ten League games played so far this season.
Kilmarnock are placed second from bottom in the 12-team Scottish Premiership.
Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston has played down the seriousness of Rabiu Ibrahim's injury after the player collapsed on the pitch on Saturday.
The Nigeria international had to be rushed to hospital after he collaped following a collision with an opposing player in his club's 2-0 win over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.
"I don’t think it’s an injury – I believe he just collapsed," Johnston says.
"He’s gone to hospital and we’ll just have to wait and see what the results are."
The under-fire manager hoped that the injury to the 22-year-old is not a serious one, noting that his absence will be a big loss to the ‘Killies’, who only managed to record their first win of the season after 10 games.
"Hopefully, he’ll be okay. He was speaking fine after he went off but he wasn’t feeling right and you can’t take any chances with that.
"If he’s going to be out it will be a big loss for us because he’s a very good player and a great lad."
