Player availability should be the same as last week.
Chris Hamilton has been appointed club vice-captain.
Chris Mochrie will not be available for the cup-tie against Celtic B because of his international call-up but he would not have been able to play anyway as he has already played in that competition for Dundee Utd.
Due to reportedly lack of depth in squad, I`m secretly hoping that we play as many fringe players as possible in cup games in a major effort to retain and hopefully enhance our position as league leaders.
Agreed, it`s a distraction this competition, we have a thin squad, so I would prefer to play the fringe players, rest the likes of Benedictus ( we will need him, and he will accumulate bookings) would be happy enough to get knocked out, would be happier if our kids won, but don`t care
