QPR's Helguson delighted to see Mackie back and firing

QPR's Heidar Helguson says it is great to see strike partner Jamie Mackie back in form after a long spell on the sidelines due to injury.

The 26-year old is back in action after a ten-month absence caused by a double leg fracture and marked his comeback with a brilliant goal as Scotland defeated Cyprus on Friday.

Mackie's Icelandic teammate Helguson insists that it is great for the team to have a player who works so hard back in the line-up.

"He thoroughly deserves to be doing well after working really, really hard over the last year," Helguson told the club's official website.

"He came in to the training ground throughout the summer to get back as quickly as possible and he is reaping the rewards now for all the hard graft he's put in."
