St Johnstone's David Wotherspoon has suffered an injury scare on his comeback for the club. The midfielder was hurt in a bounce game against Falkirk on Tuesday and is currently being assessed by the Perthshire side.
The 32-year-old had previously been forced to the sidelines since last November due to a knee injury and has recently been edging closer to his first team return.
However, his comeback in now in doubt after Tuesday's clash with The Bairns. It comes ahead of St Johnstone 's trip to Tannadice to take on Liam Fox's Dundee United as domestic football returns in Scotland.
It is a huge week for the Saints as they squeeze in three Premiership games in seven days. Ninth in the standings, Callum Davidson’s men then head for Kilmarnock next Wednesday before hosting champions Celtic in a Saturday lunchtime TV clash, but they may have to do so without the option of Wotherspoon.
