Airdrie defender Lewis Strapp faces an uncertain future after suffering a shoulder injury during yesterday's victory over Queen's Park. Manager Rhys McCabe expressed concern over the severity of the injury and revealed Strapp will undergo a scan. Meanwhile, McCabe praised two-goal hero Ben Wilson, who continues his impressive form with 12 goals for the season.
Airdrie manager Rhys McCabe admitted it 'doesn't look good' for defender Lewis Strapp after he was forced off early in yesterday's victory over Queen's Park . Strapp, renowned for his long throws, sustained a shoulder injury while attempting a throw-in in the 16th minute. He will undergo a scan to determine the severity of the damage. The defender, who joined the club at the start of January, has made three appearances for Airdrie .
McCabe, whose team travels to Dundee for the Scottish Cup fifth round next weekend, stated, 'Lewis said he didn't feel right. He tried to do a quick throw-in and he felt something pop. We're not sure if it popped out of place or what not, we'll need to wait and see the results of his scan - but it doesn't look too good. It's the joys of having a long throw. I said to him: Maybe stick to kicking the ball.' McCabe also lauded two-goal hero Ben Wilson after the striker netted twice from the penalty spot in the 2-1 win over the Spiders, bringing his season tally to 12 goals in 29 appearances. Airdrie, placed at the bottom of the Championship, has trimmed the gap to nine points with 14 games remaining. McCabe remarked, 'That is Ben up to 12 for the season so for a striker coming in here for his first season, he is producing the goods. When a striker is scoring goals it is vital. I don't think we were at our fluent best but I think we were good in stages of the game. We had stages for 10-15 minutes where we were good and looked like we could potentially score more. Then we had a spell where we stopped doing things well. I don't know if that is anything to do with the quality of Queen's Park. Wins and good performances give you confidence. They breed it through the team and you saw that today, even with the subs who came on. They had a commitment and a desire to want to win and do a job for the team. I like to use all five subs to keep everyone on their toes and it was a collective effort. Everyone, to a man, put in their fair share of effort.
