Making just his fourth appearance of the season, all off the bench, Kemar Roofe lasted barely 40 minutes at Hampden before picking up his latest injury.
The former Leeds United striker did score the winning goal in the Viaplay Cup semi-final but it came at a cost with the substitute substituted.
Roofe took a spectacular tumble as Liam Scales challenged for the ball then lay motionless on the ground as Aberdeen pushed up the other end of the pitch.
As soon as the physios got on it was clear that Roofe would have to come off, when he got up to leave the pitch there was clearly a problem with his left arm although it has been denied that he suffered a dislocation.
Alfredo Morelos started the match, lasting 74 minutes with Antonio Colak failing to make the matchday squad.
Get roofe tae man. Literally 2nd game back and probably finished for the season

Kemar Roofe had a bad fall on to his shoulder and getting a scan tomorrow. Beale’s says we “have to hope for the best.”. There’s no dislocation.

That’s the beauty of Kemar Roofe – best finisher at the club, composure in abundance… but made of crisps. That’ll be him out for another 3 months. So shite for him as he showed why we need him. If that ball landed at anyone else it would’ve been ballooned over the ball

Kemar Roofe, the enigma continues! Off the treatment table, rattles a semi final winner, back on the treatment table.

It is likely that he was playing though carrying an injury. That is never good, if it get’s aggravated. Could cost him the rest of the season!
