Livingston striker Bruce Anderson says the injury that denied him the chance of putting his name in the club’s record books is driving him on to achieve greater success this term.
The former Aberdeen frontman picked up an ankle knock in March that ruled him out for the remainder of the year having bagged 11 top flight goals in his debut campaign in West Lothian.
That figure was one shy of the club’s best single-season Premiership record, achieved by Derek Lilley in the 2003/04 season.
He’s made a positive start this year, opening his account in the League Cup win over Albion Rovers and says: “It was a frustrating end to the season. I feel like I was just hitting a bit of form so for me it’s just about channelling that frustration into the new season and hopefully kicking on.
“I recovered quicker than we thought and then I was in the gym just walking backwards and turned it again. It was back to square one really but it’s just one of those freak accidents. I was gutted, I couldn’t believe it.”
He added: “I would maybe have had a chance of being the top goalscorer so that was the biggest frustration other than not being able to help out the team. That was something that I was really disappointed in not getting.
“For me, with the way the season ended it’s just about channelling that frustration and taking confidence from what I did last season. Hopefully I can kick on and do even better this season.”
