We get five or six weeks off and then you come back in and do your work. But I have had another eight to 10 weeks off my feet so I built fitness which I then lost."I had a torn cartilage in my knee and some bone bruising and gradually it got worse.
There wasn’t a specific incident where I felt it. I played against Brechin in our first Viaplay Cup game. It’s been like a double blow because I essentially had to do another pre-season and even that doesn’t prepare you for playing at Ibrox.”He added: “Hopefully it is all behind me now.
