Falkirk ace faces lengthy spell out

Falkirk boss John Hughes has confirmed Dean Holden suffered a broken leg in the 1-0 defeat to Celtic. Holden suffered the injury after a heavy tackle by Celtic skipper Stephen McManus in the first half of the game at Falkirk Stadium. The former Oldham and Peterborough man had to be stretchered off and was taken straight to hospital. Hughes expects Holden to be out of action for a lengthy spell with the injury. "It is broken, definitely one of them, the tibia or the fibula, and it could be both of them," said Hughes. "It looks like he is going to be out for a long, long time. "We will all just stick around him and wish him all the best. He'll come back from it, he's a winner."
