Norris Cole 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Rotten luck for the big guy if this is the case, after missing out on last season's Scottish Cup Final. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RANGERS star Kirk Broadfoot is sweating on a broken foot that could rule him out of the Co-operative Insurance Cup Final. Broadfoot was injured in the Old Firm clash on Sunday and fears he has suffered a fracture which could rule him out for five or six weeks. That would mean the Ibrox defender would miss the March 15 Hampden showdown with Celtic, several key league games AND Scotland�s crunch World Cup qualifier against Holland on March 28. SunSport can reveal Broadfoot, 24, told Gers medics he felt a searing pain and heard a crack early in the 0-0 draw with Celts at Parkhead. Amazingly the defender played on for the entire 90 minutes. But on Monday, Broadfoot was unable to put weight on his left leg and was immediately taken to Glasgow�s Nuffield Hospital. He had the injury X-rayed and was told there was no obvious break. But specialists have still not ruled out a hairline fracture which could see him sidelined for weeks. The player now faces an anxious wait after being told to rest for the next 24 hours and allow the swelling to settle down. Only then will he be able to undergo a more detailed scan which could determine the rest of his season. Broadfoot has already been ruled out of tomorrow night�s Scottish Cup clash with Forfar. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/article2243585.ece 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Playing on for most of the game with a possible broken foot, the guy must have some level of pain barrier. Hopefully not as bad as it looks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hope that story is true. Really admire the big man and can easily see him becoming one of our cult heroes in years to come. No denying he gives his all in every game. Craig summed it all up in an earlier post. We need more players to show the same attitude as Kirk, without a doubt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlock 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 He looks clumsy but he can also glide past players for fun, however, if he knew that he cracked his foot early in the game wi them he should've maybe let the bench know, marking McGeady with a broken foot could've cost us dear on Sunday ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,322 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 GERS LATEST - Kirk Broadfoot to miss Cup tie against Forfar but could return to facce Killie on Saturday. Nacho Novo also out but Kyle Lafferty fit and ready. The above is an official club text message I received about 90 mins ago. It looks like KB's foot was just badly knocked and has settled down well. Incidentally, the same text service reported at 1130am this morning that KB would miss next 2 games minimum. Must have been a good physio session from 1130am to 1pm then! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
