| Also pencilled in for a run was young defender Kyle Benedictus, who has recovered from a strain.
However, new signing Dominic Shimmin and goalie Rab Douglas remain on the sidelines, although both are edging closer to a return.
“We’d hoped to have Dominic back this week, but he’s still in with the physio,” said Chis.
“Big Rab has been training with Rab Geddes and was able to step up his training yesterday.
“He’s beginning to look a bit more like himself and is building up a bit of confidence.”
Meanwhile, although transfer activity at the club remains quiet, the manager is optimistic there will be developments in the near future.
And, as he pointed out, it isn’t just Dundee who are struggling to make signings, most clubs across the country are seeing little movement as far as players are concerned.
“I was speaking to big Mixu Paatelainen (Killie boss) and he agreed that there’s hardly anybody moving at the moment,” continued Gordon.
“Everybody is feeling the pinch, but, believe me, we’ll get there in the end.”
St Johnstone, meanwhile, have “one or two players suffering wee knocks” and they weren’t being risked this afternoon.
However, Saints hope to finalise the signing of striker Sam Parkin in time to play — with other new boys, Jamie Adams, Scott Dobie and Cleveland Taylor, also lining up.
Defender Stuart McCaffrey is also set to play. Plagued by injury last season, he has come through pre-season OK. |
