Shrimpers star suffers injury blow

The 34-year-old former Scotland striker came off during the interval of Southend's draw at Oldham on Saturday with a recurrence of the thigh injury that has restricted him to just 16 appearances this season."Dougie's thigh has tightened up again and that's why he had to come off," manager Steve Tilson told the Southend Echo."We're not sure just how bad it is at this stage."The ex-Crystal Palace striker, who is 12 goals short of 200 in his career, has found the net five times for Southend this season and is halfway through a two-year contract at Roots Hall.
