Midfield could be a problem area, with Pedro Mendes out of action for up to two months with a knee injury, while Kevin Thomson is a doubt after injuring his shoulder in training.
Madjid Bougherra will also miss the visit of the Edinburgh club with a knee injury which is likely to keep him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks, while Maurice Edu and Kirk Broadfoot are both still out.
