Morton worry about Hands

Morton boss Kenny Shiels is increasingly worried about the fitness of midfielder Reece Hands, who continues to be troubled by a pelvic problem

Morton boss Kenny Shiels is increasingly worried about the fitness of midfielder Reece Hands, who continues to be troubled by a pelvic problem.

The 20-year-old former Blackburn Rovers player has not been able to train properly for four months and last week had to stop after 10 minutes' work due to the pain he was experiencing.

Shiels said: “I have not been able to see the best of Reece due to this problem that seems to go away and then just flares up again. We thought he was getting over it but last week he had to stop his fitness work as the pain was just too much.

“It is a real shame for the boy and disappointing for us that we do not know when he will be available.”
