Jamie Masson is delighted he’s finally close to making his first team comeback.

Midfielder Jamie has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in our Scottish Cup clash with Rangers at Ibrox at the beginning of April.

He’s now back in full training and on course to feature in the squad for this weekend’s cinch League One clash with East Fife at Balmoral Stadium.

Jamie said: “I’m feeling great and okay to go.

“I’ve been back in with the boys for the last couple of weeks and have got stronger with every session.

“It’s now a case of getting my match fitness up, so hopefully I will be involved this weekend and maybe get a few minutes on the park.”

Jamie needed surgery to the ankle injury he suffered at Ibrox and expressed appreciation for the way the club ensured he received the best treatment possible.

He also praised club physio Donal Gallagher for giving up some of his summer break to help Jamie and left-back Harry Milne, who had also been out with an ankle injury, make rapid recoveries.

Jamie  also appreciates the advice and guidance he has received from fitness coach Tam Ritchie since finally being allowed back on to the training pitch.

“Cove are a part-time club but everything they do is on a par with what happens at full-time clubs,” he said.

“I really appreciate the way the club made sure I got specialist treatment and the best support possible while I was recovering from the ankle surgery.

“Donal was amazing. He sacrificed a lot of his spare time to treat Harry and myself and I know I would never be where I am now if Donal hadn’t been wiling to do that.

“Tam has gone the extra mile too.

“He is a top class coach and has given me sessions and routines that have really helped me catch up with the other guys as far as fitness goes.”
