Raith Rovers manager Ian Murray hasn’t given up on defender Dylan Corr playing some part in the club’s Scottish Premiership play-off bid, despite the former Celtic B captain having gone off with a dislocated shoulder in the first half of last Friday night’s 5-0 home league victory over Arbroath.

Centre-back Corr, 19, who joined Raith on a one-year deal last summer, has had limited opportunities this season, although he played in each of the club’s last three league games.

"It was really disappointing for Dylan,” Murray told Raith TV after beating the Red Lichties. “He was doing fine, part of a back four and goalkeeper that were going towards another clean sheet.

"He’s done really well in the last three games. As a young player coming in he’s had to wait his time as well.

"It wasn’t a bad tackle, it was just unfortunate. He dislocated his shoulder, it came out, it went back in, came back out and it went back in. So we’ll have to wait on it.

"Anybody that knows about or has had a dislocation, when it comes out it’s painful. It goes free like a tonne of bricks from head to toe. So we’ll have to wait, but Dylan could be fine.

"It’s a waiting game for us. That’s the good thing about finishing second, it gives us time to rest and recover because it’s been a long, long season for us.

"I think we’re nearly at 50-odd games for the season, or we will be by the first round of the play-offs, and it takes its toll on players. Dylan came off with a sore one but we’ll do everything we can to get him ready.”
