Chris has played well for Saints both in pre-season and in the Challenge Cup match against Ross County and last Saturday’s league opener against Livingston.

He’s looking forward to his Cappielow return where he’s sure of a “warm welcome.”

Chris went on, “I keep in touch with the Morton lads. I ws there for five years after having started my career with Celtic.”

Chris was offered a good deal to stay at Morton, but opted for Saints because “they are pushing to get into the SPL and I’m ambitious and want to play there.

“I’m happy with my performances and my new team-mates are a good bunch. I’ve settled in well and I’m very much looking forward to tomorrow’s game.”

Saints team boss Derek McInnes is still seeking to bring in a left-back and will continue with his efforts right up until tomorrow’s kick-off.

Liam Craig is suspended after his ordering off against Livingston, but Alan Main is likely to be fit enough to return to the pool.

Meanwhile, Steven Anderson, Jody Morris and Collin Samuel are due to get back into training in the middle of next week.

QOS visit Dunfermline tomorrow on First Division duty, not having won at East End Park since 1990.

That was in the League Cup and you have to go back to season 1955-56 to find Queens’ last league win at East End.

And the Pars aren’t in the best fettle to keep their good home record against Queens going.

Sol Bamba is on Olympic Games duty with the Ivory Coast and Scott Wilson is a doubt with a tweaked hamstring.

The Pars lost their opening league game away to Partick last Saturday, but recorded a good 2-0 win away to Peterhead in the Co-Operative Cup in midweek.

Nicky Phinn starred in that game and Dunfermline player-boss Jim McIntyre commented, “Nicky has excellent potential. He’s been excellent for us and big things are expected of him.”
