Hibernian's Chris Hogg has been talking of the head injury suffered in the game against Morton and how he feared for his long term health. The 23 year old suffered blinding headaches and blurred vision but still continued to play.

Hogg said in the Edinburgh Evening News: "I am good enough to play football now. When I had to hold my hands up and stop playing, it was a case of I didn't know what was going on inside my head. I thought some long-term damage could be done if I carried on.

"But I have seen all the specialists now. It's a case of me getting my fitness back."

Hogg, who has been assured by specialists that he has suffered no long-term damage, admits he should have stopped sooner but feared sliding down the Easter Road pecking order.

He said: "I was a bit foolish if I am being honest to carry on. I was not training the best and I wasn't at my regular standard. I wanted to try and get through it and try to keep playing because no-one wants to lose their place in the team.

"It came to the point where I couldn't do it anymore and I had a word with the gaffer he was very understanding and the doctors and the medical staff all agreed with me. Hopefully now, I've seen the back of it.

"It's just post-concussion stuff, I've been told there is no scientific reason why it happens.

"It's a blow to the head and, depending how bad it is, you can get headaches and feel disorientated and get glazed eyes. It lasts different times for different people. There is nothing to say it will last four weeks, five weeks or whatever; the specialist told me it can last up to a year.

"The rest I've had, it's done me good and it's settled everything down so I can get on with things now."
