Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, the likes of James Tavernier are back in action, but Conor Goldson is missing out.
Ianis Hagi will be the big absentee this week.
The Romanian tested positive for COVID-19, but with it being during his trips with his country, no one else was affected at Auchenhowie.

This new squad depth is being tested in recent weeks, and it is really benefitting the boys in blue.
Kick on.

Picking up another three points in a tough away clash against Callum Davidson’s men will be another step into recovering our best form.
St Johnstone caused us far too many problems last season in all competitions, but having lost a couple of key faces, it’s time to put our foot down.
