Midfielder Scott Robertson should be fit despite a bout of illness this week.
Danny Swanson (knee) is set to return to training next week, while utility man Scott Severin (broken leg) remains out.

Griffiths served a one-match ban for making a gesture to Rangers fans, while his fellow striker Garry O'Connor should be able to continue after playing against Aberdeen despite a toe injury.
Midfielder Isaiah Osbourne remains out with an abductor injury, but captain Ian Murray remains in consideration after being an unused substitute at Pittodrie following a hip complaint.
