At the time I didn’t think it looked that bad. Glad to be proving right

Encouraging.
Well that’s certainly better news than I expected.
Greeting after a hamstring injury that will put him out for only 3 weeks, touch wood. Love it. Have we seen passion from a player like this since Gazza?
Danger Zone
Just the tip...
That’s fantastic news to be honest, in facts it’s the best outcome for that sort of injury, these can easily lead to a 6 week lay off so I’m chuffed with that news.

Prso, Albertz, Ferguson, McGregor, Novo and probably quite a few more!
Positive news.

I think realistically the best we can hope in terms of time frame is for him to come off the bench v Hamilton at Ibrox on the 6th of October- Personally doubt he will take part in that match though.
His next start will either be Hearts Away 20th Oct, Porto Away 24th Oct or Motherwell Home 27th Oct- I suspect it will be the latter.

Speaking from experience a hamstring is an injury that should not ever be rushed. Come back to soon can make it 10 times worse.

RTV? Completed it mate!
It’s a positive update - but we’ve had them before.
My money would still be on us not seeing him until after the international break. Here’s hoping I’m wrong.

We just have to get through these few games without him- particularly the domestic games;
St Johnstone Away
Livingston Away Cup
Aberdeen Home
Hamilton Home
Simply must be 9/9 in the league and through to semis of League Cup.

I'd say you'll be correct mate.
Even a grade one hammy pull is normally a 3 week recovery.

I hope it's not a Jordan Rossiter "couple of weeks".

Hamstring injuries are always worrying and players often return a lot slower as they don't want to risk a recurrence.

Better to give it an extra week's recovery, than rush back too soon and be out for months mate.

He was out for a prolonged spell last season with a hamstring injury (Nov/Dec) and came back to his best run of form. Here’s hoping.
Occupational hazard for a player of Kent’s style I’d suggest. It’s not his first and it won’t be his last.

I reckon its more psychological than physical on return, mate. Players get worried that a quick burst of speed and ping, the hamstring has went again.

Good news. Fingers crossed it settles and he is back and fighting fit in a fortnight. We should ease him back in gently.
What's the story

As others have said that's about as good as we could have hoped.
I reckon we will be patient with him.

True, that'a why I hope we take a long term view as regards to when he comes back, and the game time he does get in that process. In recent times for us Waghorn is a case in point; hamstring injuries are not necessarily that straightforward, and a player may need plenty of time to fully recover.

It is that Mate. Absolutely gutted about Fernando, feel awful for his Wife and his wee Lassie. He fought so hard to be around for them both as long as he could. I would take 11 Fernando Ricksen’s.

Me too mate, hit me hard when I finished work and shed a tear after seeing all the great tributes.
Here is a wee in-site video on hamstring injuries and the anatomy of the muscles.
Apologies for the sound.. lol

RK obviously felt the hamstring going and pulled up before doing any serious damage. 2 weeks isn't too bad.
