Sevco could be without Young McCrorie when they return to action following the winter break.
The 19-year-old was posted missing from yesterday’s training pictures from Florida leading to speculation that he had picked up an injury.
Social media firstly suggested a broken ankle with a media blackout from reporters in Florida who have been singing the praises of Jimmy Nicholl, Andy Halliday and Jamie Murphy.
Any absence for McCrorie will be a big blow for Graeme Murty who is already without Graham Dorrans, Kenny Miller, Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller.
The return of Halliday, Micky O’Halloran and Joe Doodo has bolstered the squad numbers with new signings not possible due to the club’s chronic finances.
Murphy and Sean Goss have been signed on loan but towards the end of the transfer window James Tavernier and Josh Windass are expected to be sold as hype and spin gives way to the cold reality of a complete lack of cash.
