Dundee’s Ross Callachan promises to come back stronger after confirming he has leg fracture

Ross Callachan has issued a message of defiance after confirming that he has fractured his fibula.

The Dundee midfielder, who is on loan from St Johnstone, suffered the terrible injury during the Dark Blues’ 2-0 win over Partick Thistle at Dens.

He was carried from the pitch on a stretcher and everyone at the club feared the worst.

A broken bone has now been confirmed by the player himself but he said he will come back “stronger and better.”

In a social media post, Callachan wrote: “Absolutely devastated after fracturing my fibula in today’s game.

“Boys were brilliant and a great win!

“Appreciate all the positive messages of support.

“I will be back stronger and better.”
