Harry Paton on the x rated Motherwell pic that made him squirm as fit again ace hails teammates

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Harry Paton still winces when he looks at a picture of the challenge which stopped his season in its tracks. The Motherwell playmaker was just hitting full flight in the League Cup win against Clyde back in July when a first half challenge saw his ankle buckle and two ligaments suffer the brunt of the damage.

Paton admits the agony he felt in that moment was nothing compared to the pain at being told he would need reconstructive surgery.

The 26-year-old Canada international says the spell on the sidelines has been the hardest part of his career to date.But after four months of recovery and rehab Paton is back fit and ready to make up for lost time with Stuart Kettlewell’s high-flying Well.

A late sub appearance in the 2-1 win over St Johnstone before the international break signalled his return to action and he looks set for more minutes against former club Ross County this afternoon.And the midfielder can’t wait to put the memory of that tackle - and the picture - out of his mind for good.
