Kevin Thomson's triple woe
The former Hibs and Rangers midfielder has struggled to make his mark in the English game thus far - and little wonder, given that he has apparently been training on a fractured fibula since October.
It appears the break he sustained in only his second game for the club in August re-occurred two months later but the club's medical staff failed to pick up on the extent of the damage. A third break on New Year's Day was not fully revealed until a fortnight later.

Meanwhile, Thomson's former manager at Boro, Gordon Strachan, has come out in support of under-fire Celtic boss Neil Lennon over his regular criticism of match officials. Strachan, one of Lennon's predecessors at Parkhead, told The Sun: "I've seen managers in Scotland behave worse than Lenny. Some turn into Tasmanian Devils in the dugout."
