Two tears in his thigh sidelined the skipper for six weeks, during which the Spiders lost just once, before starting last Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Ayr.

Victory over Falkirk tonight would return them to the play-off places and Thomas, 28, said: "I'm back fit as I was, maybe even fitter, so it's time to help the team out.

"Twelve years without a rehab process is good going. Hopefully that was the first and the last but it was smooth.
