Craig Levein hopes to name a similar side to the one which beat Partick Thistle. Joaquim Adao suffered a knock against Thistle but is expected to be fit to play despite not having trained since.

Prince Buaben has suffered a fresh blow in his comeback after damaging his hamstring for the under-20s during the week, while Anthony McDonald (also hamstring) is struggling along with David Milinkovic, but Arnaud Djoum (Achilles), Jamie Brandon and Rory Currie (both knee) remain out.
