Gerry Taggart is likely to miss the start of the season.

He had surgery 4 weeks ago on the tendinitis problem that kept him out at the end of last season, but it could take some time to heal; up to 4 months.

Teamtalk report that Taggs said:

"I won't be doing anything until we start pre-season again in terms of weights or running.

"So I'm going to have to start from scratch during pre-season and that means I won't be fully fit until September or October. It is a shame but I don't want to rush things."
