St Mirren striker Tom Brighton will miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury during the 3-3 draw with Motherwell on Saturday.

The 25-year-old has been plagued by injuries since joining the Buddies and has now sustained snapped cruciate and medial ligaments in his left knee.

He told the Scottish Sun: "It's still sinking in just what's happened, but to be honest I kind of knew right away.

"The toughest thing is last season I never got started because of small niggles. I worked my tail off in the summer and got myself back in decent condition and had been involved more.

"I've had the scan, which wasn't good news and now I see the surgeon next week."
