Tom Lang is ruled out for 10 MONTHS as Raith Rovers defender vows to ‘come back stronger’ from ACL heartbreak

Devastated: Tom Lang
Devastated: Tom Lang

Tom Lang has vowed to return stronger after the Raith Rovers defender was ruled out for around 10 months with a devastating knee injury.

Lang, 24, suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the Fifers’ 0-0 draw against Hamilton on Saturday and will require surgery to repair the damage.

The former Rangers and Dunfermline stopper was enjoying a fine debut season with Rovers, making 20 appearances after joining from Clyde last summer.

He tweeted: “Truly gutted to find out that I have torn my ACL. I will get through this and I’ll give my absolute everything to be back on the pitch as soon as I possibly can.

“Time to make the most out of this horrible situation and come back stronger for when I return next season.”

Lang joins Lewis Vaughan, currently recovering from the same injury for a fourth time, on the sidelines, while Brad Spencer continues to recover from a broken leg.

‘Horrendous’

Boss John McGlynn rued: “It’s a blow for Tom and he is absolutely devastated.

“He came here with a knee injury and it took a little longer than we all anticipated — and now he’s had this news, that he has to go through an ACL reconstruction.

“The club are devastated for him and, just like with all the other guys who have had a cruciate [injury], we’ll get him through the operation, get him rehabilitated and get him back.

“It’s just horrendous news.
