Boss Jim Magilton says the squad have been rallying around midfielder Luciano Civelli, who is out for the rest of the season with a knee ligament injury. The extent of the injury is still not clear, but the Argentinian is definitely out for the rest of the season.

Magilton told the club site: "The swelling has to ease first before we know how serious the injury is, but we know it's bad enough to mean he won't play again this season.

"It's a big blow for Luca and for us. He is only a young lad who has come here from Argentina and shown a great attitude and work ethic, and a lot of guts as well. He has been a revelation for us and was improving with every game.

"He has been at the training ground today and all the lads have been rallying around him. He will get the best care available from our medical team and we all wish him a speedy recovery."
