Michael Paton hobbled off in Albion Rovers’ League Two opener on Saturday and boss Brian Reid has his fingers crossed the midfielder won’t be out long-term.
The 33-year-old was replaced by Kieran McGrath after 52 minutes of their 1-0 defeat to Stenhousemuir at Ochilview with a hamstring problem and the ex-Aberdeen star is a certainty to miss this weekend’s clash at home to Dumbarton.
After a season blighted by injuries last term, Reid is praying lightning doesn’t strike twice.
