FLETCHER BACK

Fletcher is hoping to do some light jogging later this week as he continues to battle back to fitness from a knee ligament injury.

Fletcher has confirmed he appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery programme, raising the possibility he could link up with Walter Smith's squad for the trip to Milan.

“I have been out for two weeks so far and am making good progress. Six or seven weeks is the timescale I have been given, so anything before that would be a bonus and hopefully it won't be that long.

“I have been doing some hard work in the gym and hopefully I will get on with some light jogging later this week.

“I can't afford to rush back and risk long term damage. If I came back too soon, the problem could get even worse but obviously to be out for this length of time at this stage of the season is very disappointing.”
