Baggies target suffers season KO

West Brom target Kevin Thompson has suffered a massive injury blow and will miss the rest of the season because of a knee problem.

It was expected that Baggies boss Tony Mowbray would make a move for his former skipper at Hibernian when the transfer window opened but that will not now happen.

The Rangers player has picked up a cruciate knee ligament injury and will not play again this season.

Meanwhile, Mowbray will press ahead with his moves on the loan front when the window opens in the New Year.

He said: "There are some options for us but the bottom line is I will only take players if I think they will help our team and not just because some bigger clubs are offering."
