Last updated : 30 March 2005 By Bigrich.....
The 31 year old dislocated his shoulder just before half time and the club doctor put the shoulder back in, however the injury has re-occured and he will now need surgery to correct it.

Gilly will have the op later this week and will be out for arouund 3 months, meaning he could miss the start of pre-season training in July.

However Chris Swailes in now back fit again and should reclaim his place alongside Martin McIntosh in central defence.

Will Alan Knill now give the captains armband back to Macca? Talk about it on our messageboards.
