Scott Fox looks like he will miss the remainder of the season with cruciate ligament damage to his knee.

The former Partick Thistle and Ross County goalkeeper only recently joined the Steel Men and is devastated to suffer the injury.

Manager Stephen Robinson also told of his frustration and sadness on behalf of the player. “The injury is horrendous news for Scott and we are all gutted for him,” Robinson told the club website.

“We will help him in every way we can to get him back fit again.

“Unfortunately it is another freak injury, which we can’t legislate for. Scott is now the fifth player we have out and the fourth who has suffered either a contact or freak injury.

“It is frustrating for us all. But we are focused on Scott and making sure we all support him during his recovery.”

Fox joined from Thistle to provide competition for Trevor Carson after Mark Gillespie joined Newcastle United.
