Alex Hogg underwent surgery on Monday to realign the bones in his pinky, repair the tendon and fix the nail bed - six days later, determined not to let his U15s teammates down, he played in a protective brace and went out and did this…..

An incredible display of resilience and commitment 💪⚽️

A 2025 U16 Scottish Cup winner with the club now giving back and inspiring others — the heart of a true community club 🤍🖤🏁
