Hamilton's Kilmarnock loanee Dylan McGowan provides injury update in race to be fit for colossal clash with Arbroath

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Dylan McGowan revealed he has been carrying an injury for a couple of weeks and is now sweating on whether or not he will be fit to play in Hamilton's colossal clash with Arbroath on Friday night.The Accies skipper hobbled off with a calf problem after 37 minutes of yesterday's 4-1 defeat at home to Queen's Park, which ended the club's run of five games unbeaten in the Championship.The Kilmarnock loanee has been a huge factor in Hamilton climbing off the bottom of the table in the past week and the sight of him going down injured has had Accies fans fearing the worst.It is not yet known how major or minor the issue is, with the Australian expected to discover more after the weekend, but he admitted it has been troubling him during Hamilton's intensive period of games in league and cup competitions.Asked how he is, McGowan said: "Initially I came off and just got some ice on it so it's a case of waiting to see over the weekend how bad it is."But I've been carrying the injury for a couple of weeks now."It's my calf.

I just need to wait and see. Hopefully I will be fit before you know it."I was still getting it assessed after the game."The defeat reduced Hamilton's lead over Arbroath at the bottom of the table to just a point after the Lichties drew 0-0 with Partick Thistle.Cove Rangers' defeat at Morton, however, means Accies remain just two points behind the Aberdeen outfit and could leapfrog them with a win on Friday night.McGowan added: "With the results around us and not picking up points, Friday becomes even bigger, but it was always going to be a big game when you are playing teams around you in the table."The boys are obviously down after a result like this but we've got all week to pick ourselves up and move on."It
