Willo Flood made a successful comeback from injury last night helping Middlesbrough’s reserve side to a 1-0 win away to Leeds.
The midfielder suffered a dislocated knee-cap on the opening day of the season and was joined in last night’s reserve side by Stephen McManus.
Flood played for 59 minutes before being substituted and reported no ill effects after the match.
The former Celtic and Dundee United midfielder suffered the worst possible start to the season when he dislocated his knee-cap eight minutes into the defeat from Ipswich on the first day of the season.
Since then Tony Mowbray has replaced Gordon Strachan as manager and seems to have steered ‘Boro clear of the relegation zone.
Middlesbrough face Ipswich on Saturday with McManus expected to start his first match in four months following an ankle operation.

The legend is back!
Watch out Premiership! Willo and his Boro troops are coming to get ya.
I actually quite liked the guy but he should never have been a Celtic player. Mind you, there’s quite a few in that category from our history.
First time I saw Willo @ Lennoxtown, thought he could have done a job………………for the u13s!!!!!!!!
I always thought he had the look of an impoverished waif from a novel like ‘Angela’s Ashes’ or some such drivel (Oh, life was tough in 19th and early 20th century Ireland? No shit Sherlock!) walking into class with his trousers held up by a bit of string – “Please Miss O’Belt, de horse ate my homework an jumped in de Liffey!”
No, well maybe it’s just me then!
