| Jason Scotland is suspended for next Saturday’s home match against Partick, so this is his last chance to impress before the Perth club’s away CIS Cup quarter-final against Rangers.
He’s been in scoring form this season — although he drew a blank in last Saturday’s 5-0 home demolition of QOS — so he’ll be double keen to get among the goals.
Steven Milne, who has been bothered on and off by a knee injury, has trained this week and looks certain to start up front alongside Jason.
Peter MacDonald is “looking sharper by the day “ according to player-boss Owen Coyle and will again be in Saints’ pool.
But a place on the bench is, perhaps, the best he can hope for.
“This will be a very hard game, but, if we play to our potential, it’s one we can win,” said Owen.
“We’re top of the league despite missing our central defensive pairing of Kevin Rutkiewicz and Kevin James through injury. And Steven Milne has been struggling at times with injury this season, too.
“But we’ve worked hard to get to the top of the league — and that’s where we aim to stay.” |
