Fresh woe for McCann

Injury-plagued Hearts midfielder Neil McCann could be out for six months after suffering a double leg break during Saturday's 5-0 defeat at Celtic.
The former Rangers wideman had only just returned to first-team contention when he sustained broken tibia and fibula bones in a second-half challenge with Celtic midfielder Scott Brown.
"This is clearly very bad news for Neil and we feel for him," assistant coach Stephen Frail told the club's official website.
"I know everyone wishes him a speedy recovery from this.
"Whilst it is very early to put a timescale on Neil's recovery, it is believed he could be out of action for around four to six months."
