Hibernian FC Star striker Garry O'Connor has been laid low with sinusitis which could see him pull out of the Scotland U21 squad that is due to take on Iceland and Lithunia in a Euro championship double header. The 19 year old Hibs striker has had a bad run of injuries in recent months which has seen him pull out of Rainer Bonhof's recent squads and he has been unable to add to his one and only appearance against Denmark last August. After getting the nod from Beti Vogts at the end of last season gaining 3 full International caps against Nigeria, South Korea and South Africa O'Connor will be hoping he can recover in time and recover some of his early season form
