Paul Quinn Heart Scare

From the Courier

The former Ross County captain had one of his teeth taken out in the days running up to the Falkirk match in an attempt to cure an abscess.

However, he came off after just 10 minutes of Saturday’s goalless draw against the Bairns after feeling the effects of the dental infection.

The poison seems to have seeped into his system and has caused his heart rate to rocket.

Tangerines manager Ray McKinnon said: “He is really struggling and we haven’t seen him since Saturday.

“He is away seeing the doctor for an ECG (electrocardiogram) scan.

“He needed the heart scan done because his heart rate was going through the roof yesterday.

“From what we gather, some infection has gotten into his mouth and is having this effect on him.

“He had an abscess and needed a tooth extraction but it has led to this infection.

“It is obviously causing him a real problem.

“We will just have to wait and see what the doctors are saying but, hopefully, he will be fine.

“It is not good news but, on the flip side, I thought William Edjenguele came on for Paul and played really well against Falkirk on Saturday.

“At least we have a good replacement for Paul is he is to miss out.”
