Ross Sinclair on his return from injury

Goalkeeper Ross Sinclair returned to light training last week after eight months out following elbow surgery.

The Scotland youth international sat down with the club website to discuss his return to action and the possibility of squad involvement before the end of the season.

He said: “I am absolutely delighted to be back out on the grass. It has been a long time coming I have been itching to get back.

“When I got the go ahead and the all clear that my elbow was fine I was straight to the goalkeeping coach asking what I can do to get back on the pitch.

“Now I am back on the pitch it feels good and I am back in the gym. I feel strong. Everything is going well so far.

“I’m not too far from being back to full training. Hopefully before the end of the season if all goes to plan.

“We are just at the early stages, we are just doing handling and footwork at the moment, it will take my body a bit of time to get used to after being out for so long.

“In a few weeks time we will start to build up diving and when I’m back diving then I will be back in full training. I’m not far away it is just about ticking boxes slowly.”

As well as training, Sinclair has also been back involved on a matchday in the warmups.

He continued: “It is great to be back involved on matchdays as well. I was involved in warmups before just serving a ball, but as my fitness returns I am getting back involved properly and then matchday squads will come along again.

“Before you know it you can be back playing and that is another box ticked. It will be great to be back out on the pitch with the boys in that environment again.

“Obviously seeing the fans as well it will be great.

“The boys have been great with me. They have been asking how I have been getting on, they are all rooting for me to get back.

“It is good to see they have that interest in you and they have that backing for you.”
