Kirk Broadfoot scalded by egg explosion

• Microwave poaching goes wrong for Rangers defender

• Injured Broadfoot suffers burns after egg inspection

• From DIY surgery to the runaway moose: freak football injuries

Mooses have done it. Bottles of salad cream have done it. Even an ironing board has done it. And now we can add poached eggs to the list of bizarre items to have caused injuries to footballers.

Walter Smith, the Rangers manager, today confirmed that Kirk Broadfoot ­suffered burns after an egg exploded in his face. The Scotland defender was inspecting two eggs he had just poached in his microwave when one of them blew up and squirted scalding hot water into his face.

The 25-year-old was treated at hospital for scalding to his cheek after the incident on Sunday but was otherwise unhurt. He is expected to make a full recovery. Smith said: "He's got some facial burns but he should be OK."

The former St Mirren full-back, who joined the Ibrox club in 2007, is currently out injured with a foot problem.

He'd fit in at Derby! Que egg puns

I'd be pleased with him joining, if he's free and the rumour's true. Certainly better than O'Brien and Bucko (not that Bucko was poor for us last season, but more quality is always a good thing).
