Kilmarnock suffer O'Leary setback

O'Leary injured his shoulder on the opening day of the season

Kilmarnock defender Ryan O'Leary will be out for up to seven months after dislocating his shoulder in the opening day SPL victory against Hibernian.

The 20-year-old suffered the injury in a collision with former team-mate Colin Nish during the match at Rugby Park.

"Ryan will be out for six to seven months. The surgeon reckons he'll have to perform open surgery," said Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies.

"He will do well to return before the end of the season. It's unfortunate."
