ian1964 10,870 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 MADJID BOUGHERRA will miss the first SPL game after the split through suspension after being booked in last night's 2-1 win over St. Mirren. The Algerian was on 15 disciplinary points prior this fixture but was shown a yellow card on 67 minutes for dissent after referee Eddie Smith awarded a dubious foul against him. This took the centre-half to 18 points and he will now be unavailable for the first of five games after the split which of which could be against Old Firm rivals Celtic. The news will be frustrating for boss Walter Smith who only recently welcomed Bougherra back in to his starting eleven after a spell on the treatment table with a calf injury. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,870 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 By Andrew Dickson WALTER SMITH has confirmed DaMarcus Beasley has not suffered a break after he was taken off last night against St Mirren with a rib injury. The American winger needed treatment on the pitch after he went down when he was challenged by John Potter in the opening minutes of the 2-1 win. DaMarcus Beasley is fouled by John PotterAlthough he briefly came back after being carried off, he wasn't able to continue for long and was soon replaced by Nacho Novo. Beasley will definitely miss Saturday's match with Motherwell but his problem isn't that serious that it'll keep him out in the long term. The same applies to Sasa Papac, who also limped off in the first half after a late tackle on him from Billy Mehmet. He required stitches and while he'll also be absent at the weekend, the race is now on for him to get fit for the trip to Hibernian on April 19. Smith said: "There's no break there for DaMarcus and that's good news, although we're not quite sure at this stage how long he'll be out for. "It was certainly a painful blow he took so from that point of view, he'll definitely miss the game at the weekend. "Sasa is another who'll be missing. He needed stitches last night on a cut and there's a bit of swelling there just now. "Again, we'll wait and see how long the problem takes to clear but I'd be hopeful he will be able to return next weekend at Easter Road." Losing Beasley and Papac means Gers could be without at least nine first-team players against Motherwell. Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor are still serving their suspensions imposed by the club, while Kevin Thomson is out until next season after knee surgery. Lee McCulloch, Kenny Miller, Kirk Broadfoot and Kyle Lafferty are also sidelined with a variety of ailments. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,870 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 And yet Steven Smith and Hemdani keep being overlooked, not saying they will '' save our season '', but two players who are experienced first team players should be used if we are struggling for players 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Assuming he's still here, next season will be Stevie Smith's chance to shine. Hemdani on the other hand would have been a useful squad player this season, "European specialist" or not. As it is, there's surely no way he can be thrown in at such a crucial stage of the season with no match practice. Then again we've had Dailly and now Velicka and Smith... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
