Luckless Cammy MacPherson is facing another spell on the sidelines.The St Johnstone midfielder hobbled off early doors in Saturday’s 4-0 Premiership defeat to Rangers at Ibrox.A thigh injury could keep him out for three to four weeks, although scan results were yesterday still to arrive.Perth boss Callum Davidson said: “We are waiting on the scan results and should have those in the next couple of days, but it wasn’t great because he felt something pop.“That suggests it could be a little tear so if it is, hopefully it’s not too bad and settles down quickly.“It’s such a shame for Cammy and for us because he’s been playing really well.“He’s won his place in the team so it’s going to be a great shame if he’s out for three or four weeks now.“It has happened to him a few times now, with all different kinds of injuries.“He’s desperate to be playing, he works very hard in training and in the gym because he wants to become better.“He’s got all the attributes to be a top quality Premiership midfielder, but he needs to get that run of games.“It’s rotten luck for him because he’s not had more than three games on the bounce since joining us.“We see him in training, see how good he is but he needs to be playing consistently.“For any player, to get that consistency of performance and really kick on you need that 10, 15 games in a row in a team.“As a team you also need players in there for that length of time because it allows others to get used to their way of playing and form those partnerships.“So it’s a huge shame he’s not been able to get that so far.

He just needs a change of fortune because it has been shoulder injuries, his groin and now his thigh.“If it was the same injury recurring over and over you’d be looking at it
