Ismael Bouzid was this morning given the all clear after the defender was injured in yesterday's win at Millwall.

The Algerian international suffered a suspected fracture skull following a 30th minute challenge which left him stricken on the pitch at the New Den.

However tests at King's College Hospital in London have revealed there is no fracture, and after being observed overnight he'll be able to travel back to Scotland later today with head physio Rob Marshall.

A club spokesperson said: "We are obviously relieved to hear that Ismael's injury is not as bad as feared and we look forward to welcoming him home.

"We'd like to sincerely thank Millwall for their support - the club were absolutely first class in providing us with help during a very difficult situation over the last few hours for which we're really grateful."
