| Out since October because of groin surgery, the Englishman had been training normally, but pulled up after feeling pain in that area. An examination, however, has revealed the problem is neither serious nor the same injury that led to his operation and hopes are high he will be back working normally in a matter of days.
“He was due to do some work with the physio today and I think he’ll be back with the rest of the boys next week,” said boss Jocky Scott.
“Having been out for so long, he was a bit concerned when he felt his groin the other day, but he’s been reassured it is not a big problem and he should kick on from here.”
Jocky is on the lookout for a closed-door game next week and, along with Sean Higgins, ideally would like to see Cowan get part of the action.
Centre-half Craig McKeown could also do with a game, though there remains a possibility of his loan at Stirling Albion being extended for another month, so he might be playing in a league game at Dumbarton this weekend.
“Craig’s problem is that, although he has been away for two months, he’s only had two games, so he is still not match fit, so it would suit us if he could get a few more with Stirling,” said Jocky.
Sky announced today they will show the Active Nation Scottish Cup quarter-final tie between Kilmarnock and Celtic live from Rugby Park on Saturday, March 13 (KO 12.15 pm). |
