Joe Shaughnessy is suspended following his harsh red card in the Scottish Communities League Cup quarter-final win at Motherwell, while Clark Robertson was carried off with a knee injury at Fir Park and may be out for several weeks.
However, the versatile Chris Clark - who can play in either full-back position - is getting closer to a first-team return following a lengthy knee injury of his own. Josh Magennis and Craig Murray remain out.
