Both the on-loan Manchester City winger and the club captain are back in full training after being sidelined by hamstring and Achilles problems respectively.
Barker has been out since pulling up early in the victory over Rangers at Ibrox on February 3, while Gray suffered his injury as he crumpled in pain in a winter-break friendly against Dutch side Willem II in the Algarve on January 12.
