Desperately hoping the big man’s injury doesn’t have him out long. Any word yet on how long he might be out?
Any word on Sima’s injury?

I'd imagine it'll be Fridays press conference before we get an official update

Come on FF someone knows something let us in on it
I agree, I think Sima's fitness is key to our season, we need him back asap.
We're not getting enough from the other wide men, although I think Cortes was on track to do that.
Sima adds a different dimension with his strength, pace and aerial ability. You could see the difference when he came on against the bheasts. That prick Taylor couldn't get near him.

Thanks captain pedantic.No one can 'run off' a hamstring injury

RTV? Completed it mate!
Yup. And it's unlikely to be good news. A recurring hamstring injury isn't going to just go away anytime soon.
Going by the ankle he had the ice pack attached to his leg, the angle he was sitting and and how many ice cubes were in the pack, it’s clear he has a 0.75 grade F hamstring twang.
He will be out for 3.5 days

You don't hear enough twang these days. Not heard it used in a sentence since one of the boys said he nearly 'twanged his banjo string' during the great Pamela Anderson scuddy video pass round of 96.

Expect to be told that's it's not too bad but should hopefully be available for the following game..... Then the same thing repeated at the Press conference a week later. It's pretty much how it goes with injuries and knocks at Ibrox.

Than fvck. Finally a bit of luck on the injury front.

With our luck likely be due back soon which means out for season.
Wasn't his Afcon injury his thigh muscle and it was then operated on? Usually they say hamstring specifically when it's that but back then it was "thigh injury". So maybe just a bit of hamstring tightness after a heavy schedule post injury and rightly taken off and fine.
(I'm leaning towards it hopefully being that and am more concerned that Sterling seems to be really struggling to complete games at the moment. Just asking for something to go but maybe the full week rest will do him good.)

With our luck, who is honestly expecting him to be fit for Sunday?

Sima was a huge loss, typical of our luck on international duty. I will be very pleasantly surprised if he returns next season.
He can play anywhere across the front line without any problem at all, & the covering back he does is also excellent.

Depends… which Sunday?

If he's out for the season we may never see him in a Gers shirt again

Yup. According to Transfermarkt his injury spell from late Jan to late Mar was a hamstring injury (although described as a ‘thigh injury’ elsewhere). Sunday looked like another hamstring injury to me. Probably as a result of coming back and playing too many minutes, too soon.
Hopefully not, but that’s what it looks like.

Purely out of nostalgia, do you have any links to the “said” scuddy video.
I remember it was truly artistic and the plot was quite moving.
I decided to learn the drums after watching that

Never ever seen it reported anywhere regarding a hamstring injury at Afcon. The manager then said it was discomfort in his adductor muscle on his hip. News reports after that said he would be out 2 and a half months after an operation on his thigh. However another report said surgery to his knee so maybe nobody knows

Don’t think we will see him on Sunday which is a shame as wanted him back to full fitness and chipping in.
Possibly back to early for the recurrence of the injury. If he’s out the remainder of season I don’t think we will see him again.

I don’t expect him to be fit for Sunday , but he did walk off on Sunday uninhibited.
His injury at Afcon was a thigh injury similar to what Goldson suffered against Liverpool last year.
This is not a repeat injury as it's the hamstring this time. I had said as soon as he was back he had played too many minutes and was likely to pick up a strain somewhere as a result. Hopefully minor and we have him back after Sunday.
