| Craig, assistant Peter Houston and coach Tony Docherty will all be on their travels on Saturday to take in games, though the need to prepare properly for the home clash with St Mirren 24 hours later means the manager might not be travelling as far as he would like.
“We’ll all be taking in matches and it will be a mixture of looking at future opponents and players. I was going to head down to England and I still might, but being here for training in the morning means I’m limited in terms of how far I can travel,” said Craig.
“Either way, it is a good chance for us to take in games and we will make the most of it.”
On the subject of scouting, neighbours Dundee’s problem in facing new Airdrie United boss Kenny Black on Saturday also represents a loss for Craig, who had intended using his friend and former coaching colleague as a scout down south.
“It’s a blow to me, but I am delighted Kenny has got the chance to move into management and I am sure he will do a very good job for Airdrie.”
Defender David McCracken, meanwhile, could be losing his battle to shake off a hamstring problem in time to face the Buddies –— he’s now rated at no better than 50-50 for Sunday.
“He’s struggling a bit. If he does miss out, I think it will only be a one game thing and he’ll be back with us next week,” added Craig.
Fans are reminded that, as Sunday’s game has been rescheduled to avoid a fixture clash with Dundee and not for television purposes, kick-off will be 3 pm. |
