Squad News
Just as things looked to be improving on the injury front, more names have been added to the treatment list this week with Jamie Semple missing out with a neck injury and Aaron Dunsmore a doubt with an ankle injury. They join long-term absentees Stewart Murdoch, Ross Davidson, Danny Swanson and Mikey Cunningham in missing out on tomorrow’s match.
In better news, Kyle Connell re-joined the squad for training this week, and along with Ross Dunlop and Pat Slattery are back available this weekend. Daniel Higgins is also available after serving a two-match suspension following his red card against Airdrieonians.

From the Manager
"We’ve had two very good training sessions this week and we’ll go into the game with confidence looking to build on last week’s performance. We’ve brought in David Devine from Motherwell on loan but were disappointed not to get 2-3 more deals over the line before the window closed as a knock-on effect of parent clubs not completing the deals they wanted."
"We know we haven’t made the start to the season that we all would’ve wanted but I know the players really appreciated the response from the fans at the end of last week’s game and I know you will continue to support them as we look to kick start our season today."

Defender David Devine has joined us on a season-long loan from Premiership side Motherwell.
The 20-year-old centre-half made his first-team debut for Motherwell in May 2019 as a second half substitute against Livingston before a short spell in the Championship with Queen of the South in the second half of the shortened 2019/20 season.
