Scotland defender John Souttar has been out of action since limping off early against Spurs last month, while Dujon Sterling hasn't been seen since the 3-3 draw at Easter Road. Long-term crock Neraysho Kasanwirjo has been sent back to Feyenoord after suffering a nightmare knee injury for the Netherlands Under-21s in November.
