Novo: Continues up front

Kenny Miller, DaMarcus Beasley and Maurice Edu are all still out of action and will not play a part in the clash at the national stadium.

Kris Boyd is continuing his recovery from a hernia operation but is expected to be fit enough to take part in practice matches next week with a view to returning to action later this month.

Nacho Novo and Kyle Lafferty should continue up front, although John Fleck is another option.

Madjid Bougherra misses the game after being handed extra time off following the African Nations Cup.

Gers (from): McGregor, Whittaker, Papac, Smith, Weir, Wilson, Davis, Thomson, McCulloch, Novo, Naismith, Lafferty, Little, Fleck, Broadfoot, Ness, Wylde, Alexander.
